Abstract

It is analysed the right to education, which is focused on two particular aspects. On the one hand, it is only considered higher education (university). On the other hand, it suggests that Chilean state has not fulfilled its duty of set up progressively the free-on-charge education, as it should have happened in the light of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. It is also analysed the problems associated with the existence of two types of universities: public and private universities. Finally, it is developed a proposal which states that Chile replaces the financing system based on DFL Nº 1 and Nº 4, so that it reaches a free-on-charge higher education within a reasonable period (ten or twenty years).
