Chileans march for cheaper education 120,000 people, according to organisers, joined a protest march Santiago, Chile on Thursday, calling for change in the educational system. The Chilean student movement made global headlines in 2011, and after a quiet 2012, plans to recover that momentum this year. Chile has one of the world's most expensive education systems, with Pinochet-era laws meaning most teenagers attend private schools and even public universities are expensive. Images and soundbites.
