  Hello everyone, I hope you have a great weekend . Today I am going to answer (according to my opinion) the following question: Do private schools offer higher quality education or are they just prestigious? This is a tricky question, since the quality of education does not depend only on the resources that the school can provide to the students, nor how good the teachers are, but also on the vulnerability of the sector in which it is located, not it is the same to teach a student who grew up in a stable and safe environment as one who grows up in a violent and/or poverty environment. Despite this, it can be observed in Chile that from the first steps of the introduction of the educational system to the student (aka the kindergarten) that the one with more resources will have a better education, either because of the extra material and of better quality for study or better study conditions, as we advance in the school system this difference becomes larger and larger (especially mi...

  As we all know, a country is made up of the people who live in it. That is why I am absolutely convinced that the healthcare system is the pillar to determine the quality of a country. Now hear me out, have you noticed that the countries with a better quality of life have a higher quality of healthcare system, this is not a coincidence. Take Greenland for example, where the overall life expectancy is higher than the world average by 1.4 years (that 's crazy!), and that's because it's free (up to a point), including prescription drugs and other medical supplies. Let's compare with Chile, where we have a mixed health care system, one public (FONASA) and one private (ISAPRE) and where the overall life expectancy is the same as the world average . Did you know? FONASA is ranked by the World Health Organization in 33rd out of 190 countries and ISAPRES cannot be ranked because their care varies according to medical treatment (And you might ask yourself "how, despite ...
