Viola Wilkins: The Battle of Chile for free and quality education (tour in Australia)

23.11.11

“Political and social unity is becoming increasingly urgent, it is necessary that we, the student and popular organisations sit down to talk and discuss, to overcome the differences which in many cases are more human than political, and work for an organised response of the poor students.
Comrades, the struggle is for education to serve the people and workers, if we do not do so today… tomorrow will be too late for our people.


From the Student Convergence, we make a sincere appeal to:
UNITE, WORK AND STRUGGLE FOR AN EDUCATION FOR THE PEOPLE!
FOR SOCIAL AND POLITICAL UNITY OF THE PEOPLE TO FIGHT!
TO CREATE, BUILD A STUDENT CONVERGENCE!” From Convergencia Estudiantil in http://www.latinlasnet.org/node/15


Free and Quality Education for Chile



Cristian Milla Curiñanco, Student/Mapuche activist representing one of the Chilean students grass-root movement Convergencia Estudiantil fighting for a fair, just and quality education system in Chile.
