Education updates in Chile and Argentina

Educational developments are underway in Chile and Argentina. In Chile, the 2027 School Admission System (SAE) main application period is open, with a deadline of August 27 at 14:00. Families can rank their preferred schools, though the Ministry of Education notes that early application does not grant priority in assignment.

Regarding school climate, reports from Fundación Eventuras indicate that school coexistence complaints in Chile rose by 3% in the first semester, reaching 6,308 cases. While regions like Ñuble and O’Higgins saw increases, others like Biobío and Los Ríos reported declines. Experts suggest this may reflect improved reporting and awareness rather than increased violence.

In Argentina, the Ministry of Education introduced a new 'Portal Familias' and a digital report card system in Ushuaia. This digital transformation tool allows parents to securely access student attendance, partial grades, and download digital report cards, aiming to reduce paperwork within the provincial educational system.
