Valparaiso March 24, 2011 .- The deputy Atacama, Lautaro Carmona, general secretary of the PC, won approval of a draft agreement to provide benefits debtors to college, taking as precedent the data issued by the Presidential Advisory Council on Higher Education.
"The report recognizes that a very peculiar feature of the Chilean higher education system is its high degree of private participation, which is also reflected in funding. The percentage of GDP on education, 2.1%, the vast majority comes from private funding, "he said Carmona.

"Today there are about 160 000 university debtors and benefit levels which are also in DICOM, and the benefit of enabling them to exercise their profession without the risk that before starting to exercise on their performances have banking point of view, it seems appropriate that as encouragement for higher education training in more precarized people, proposes a change in interest rates with bank-loan commitments students, which today is 1.5% and therefore, become 0.4%, thus altering the 19,287 law in Article 15, "he said.
Another important point of the proposal is related to debt forgiveness. Carmona said "that can be added to Article 17, a clause stating that the overall fund managers who choose to write off bad debts by more than 10 years of debtors belonging to the three lowest quintiles, obtain compensation bonds with 50% of such waivers by the General Treasury of the Republic, as a regulation point.
