CHILE - EDUCATION - PROTEST
Student leader Camila Vallejo (R) marches to demand the government of Chilean President Sebastian Pinera to improve the public education system, in Santiago, on October 11, 2012. While some danced to the rhythm of drums, thousands of others, masked and wearing hoods, followed the procession and attacked police with sticks and stones. The police responded, as they have in the past, with tear gas and water cannons. For over a year, Chilean students have rallied in the streets, calling for reform to the Latin American nation's education system, considered expensive, inefficient and inequitable.
