CLThe mayor of Ñuñoa, Sebastián Sichel, praised a new law proposed by the Chilean Ministry of Education (Mineduc) that delays the implementation of the Local Public Education Services (SLEP) until 2040. This law allows municipalities that currently manage public schools to continue doing so if they achieve good academic results, while also providing flexibility for those who wish to transition to the SLEP model. The initiative was discussed during a meeting between Sichel and other mayors with Education Minister María Paz Arzola. Sichel emphasized that this delay gives time to analyze the potential impacts of the SLEP system and ensures that local governments can maintain control over their public schools without compromising quality. He called for swift legislative approval, stating that the future of children’s education depends on it. Other mayors, including Catalina San Martín of Las Condes, also welcomed the proposal, emphasizing their commitment to maintaining high-quality public education within their communities.
