Students in Chile call for education reforms
Posted: Friday, August 12, 2011, 6:46 PM GMT
High school and college students in Chile are staging protests to call for more affordable and accessible education.
More than 100,000 students have taken part in protests, some camping out in schools and others staging a hunger strike.
They want the Chilean government to guarantee free college education for all Chileans. They also want the government to take control of high schools, which are currently run by the cities they're located in.
