What happened in 2007?
The Right to Education was discussed by pupils across the country. Inspired, children debated and presented their conclusive reports to the regional authorities in public ceremonies. They also logged onto Chile's own special JOIN UP web chain at www.opcion.cl/educacion. A huge banner was then hung outside the government buildings with the number of people who'd Joined Up on line and demanded education rights. The week's highlight was when the Education Minister, Yasna Provoste Campillay, met pupils in Santiago to hear about what they had found out and what they wanted from the government.
