Este viernes 03 de Diciembre se realizo una velatón por parte de los estudiantes de la universidad de Tarapacá (UTA) con el fin de dar a conocer su descontento con la reforma educacional que piensa llevar a cabo el gobierno del presidente Sebastian Piñera y del ministro de educación Joaquín Lavín. Esta reforma pretende reducir las horas de ciencias sociales en el sistema educativo, como también las de tecnología, música y arte. Con el fin de privilegiar a las de matemática y lenguaje.

Los estudiantes se manifestaron en el centro de la ciudad en donde de forma simbólica prendieron velas, y velaron el ataúd de la “memoria chilena” la cual representaría la gran victima de la reforma, con la disminución de las horas de historia, como a la vez el pensamiento critico y reflexivo que se forman a través de las disciplinas de las ciencias sociales. Esta manifestación fue apoyada por los transeúntes quienes se detuvieron para escuchar a los estudiantes y manifestaron su apoyo con aplausos como también con opiniones con respecto a la situación actual de la educación chilena. Arica, Chile. 03/12/2010.
