Free Topic

Hello, I hope everyone is having a good day!

Today is the last blog and it's a free topic, so I'm going to talk about the country I would like to go to. 

One of the countries I would like to visit is Ecuador, one of my friends is from there and she told me that it is a country with beautiful landscapes and it has different climates (like tropical or dry for example). This country is known by the equator line, but it is not known if the country is named after the line or the line is named after the country. It is a mystery.

I would like to go to a particular city called Guayaquil. This city is known for having iguanas running free in the streets and everywhere. Which is super peculiar and fun to see.

Another interesting thing about this country is that in the eastern part of Ecuador is the Amazon and it also has the Galapagos Islands as part of its territory. This make it a very diverse country in its flora and fauna.

Personally, I would like to go on a summer vacation to have new life experiences and meet new people.

That's all for today, thanks for reading.

Thank you for joining me in this learning process, bye.

Education

Hello everyone, hoping everyone is having a great day, today I am going to talk about private schools in Chile. 

First of all I have to say that I have never been in a private school in my entire educational process, but that has not meant a limitation to get ahead and emerge in life. Well, I will try to answer the following question:

Do private schools offer higher quality education or are they just prestigious?

It is a fact that private education offers a better education in terms of preparation for university entrance, where its students achieve the best scores and therefore have a better chance of entering higher education.

This news shows us the 100 best schools according to the results of the PSU (University Selection Test), where the most outstanding establishments are mostly private schools (95/100) and most of them belong to the Metropolitan Region.

Here is another news that shows us the result of a Simce English test, where 99 of the 100 schools with the best scores are private schools.

So it is a fact that private education is of quality, but at the same time it is very segregated and unequal, since not everyone has enough money to be able to access it. 

But there are also many cases in which students from public schools obtain excellent results thanks to their own efforts. But the idea is to improve education in our country, and that this quality is reflected in most schools in Chile and not only belongs to a more privileged economic sector.

That's all for today, byee :)
