Read Monte Reel’s article on the Penquine Revolution. I am so impressed with the teenagers and University students in Chile. They started a reform movement to improve the education system that suffered from inequality. Reel writes:
The Education Ministry soon began holding negotiations with student leaders, and Bachelet eventually promised more funding to help the poorest students and created a panel, which included student representatives, to discuss broad reforms of the national educational system.
I wonder what motivated these students to unite. It seems that text message was central to their organizing. What ever it was their political involvement has brought about positive changes. I am most impressed with their concern for the poor students. Way to go!
