Educational policy for migrants in Chile: an eloquent silence

Abstract

As a first objective, a critical view of the current educational policies in Chile is proposed, from a position referred to the schooling process for migrants, in terms of revealing how it is approached among different curricular instruments, an exercise that tells who have been the accomplices of that "silence". As a second objective, this reflection intends to argue that the absence of a schooling policy for migrant children and young people could constitute an opportunity to strengthen processes of teacher professionalism and a political educational challenge in the attention of cultural diversity, from a perspective of critical intercultural education.
