The Value of a Student

The article discusses a debate over evaluating students' value within the school admission system, using an analogy between workers and jobs. Claudio Sapelli compares the student-colegio pairing to the worker-job pairing, suggesting that some students might 'reduce value' in classrooms. Ingrid Olea, Director of Education 2020, counters this by arguing that education is a fundamental right, not a market transaction, and that measuring students' contribution in economic terms undermines the goal of fostering active, socially connected citizens.
