The Law of Inclusion does not ensure this. " And while from INTRODUCTION the Ministry of Education of Chile warn that it will be necessary to "apply common sense," as expressed by the Already nine months after it was promulgated by President Minister Adriana Delpiano, from the organizations of private Michelle Bachelet, on Tuesday, March 1 of this year, the schools say that it is an absolutely ideological measure. All this School Inclusion Law begins to be officially enforced. Doubts, is that Chile effectively appears as one of the countries of the criticisms and marked differences persist from different sectors Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development towards the new regulation that in principle aims to end profit, (OECD) with more segregation, and it is thought that with this selection and co-payment in subsidized private education law there will be equality and equity in education. That 16 establishments and not the integration and inclusion of students years after the last reform, the same issues continue to be with SEN as a focus principal. That there has been a debate in discussed, without developing a profound reform of public our country about problematizing the possibility of installing education, it has to make us increasingly skeptical about the the issue of inclusion in education is something in itself will of the political and business class to make changes, it is questionable. From international organizations, such as fundamental that social movements do not fall into the Unesco, the right to education implies the right to inclusion. It conjunctural discussion. The minimum is to demand the is something that cannot be separated. And it is a debate to the strengthening of social rights, such as inclusion in all extent that education in Chile is tremendously privatized, both educational areas. The Law of School Inclusion, a norm that at the secondary and higher levels. The approach of academic must necessarily be considered in terms of others that are also Juan González, researcher of the Chilean Observatory of part of the great Educational Reform announced by the Educational Policies (OPECH) of the University of Chile, in Government. A rule that adds to bills that are still discussed in conversation with the Special Press program, points precisely Congress, as well as others. The Inclusive Educational Reform, to the complexity of this new legislation, and adds: "A study of seeks to provide learning opportunities and comprehensive the Unicef determined a few years ago that in the Metropolitan development to all children, youth and adults without Region, Santiago, Chile, 50 percent of the internal regulations distinction. In this framework, the School Integration Programs of schools have articles that go against international law. So, it (hereinafter PIE), regulated by the Supreme Decree (Ed.) No. is in Chile that we are making this debate. In other parts of the 170/2009, constitute a fundamental tool to provide quality world this is no longer a topic of discussion. In that sense, we education opportunities to all those who wish to start, continue must reflect on the discordance that exists in the Law or complete their studies, including those who have greater "inclusion, which has to do with the end of profit in education, needs for support (SEN). In this scenario, the PIE is a strategy is still enshrined in higher education. We as teachers that privileges the creation of conditions in educational understand that the subject of education is unique, where the establishments and in the classroom, in order to respond to the State must have certain attributions that allow him to direct individual differences of the students, thus ensuring their what is necessary to put at the service of all the inhabitants of progress in the school curriculum. For this, a collaborative and the country. Education is a social right and not a market good. planned work is required, that benefits all the students of the *Corresponding author: Dr. José Manuel Salum Tomé level, improving the general conditions in which the teaching CFT Teodoro Wicken and Universidad Católica de Temuco, Brazil. and learning process is developed. To facilitate the 086 International Journal of Recent Academic Research, Vol. 01, Issue 03, pp.085-089, June, 2019 implementation of the PIE, it must be borne in mind that it receive an inclusive quality education. provides material and human resources that allow the establishment to have specialized support in the context of the Likewise, it is the duty of the State to promote the common classroom, with hours to plan and evaluate teaching, generation of the necessary conditions for the access and to work collaboratively. The above is also an effective and permanence of students with special educational opportunity to strengthen the management and technical teams needs in establishments of regular or special education, of the establishments with other professionals, such as special according to the best interest of the child or pupil ". As education teachers, psychologists, speech therapists, can be seen, it is left to the discretion of the holder to occupational therapists, psychopedagogues, social workers, make changes or not and, principally, to his / her will in kinesiologists, sign language interpreters, among others, which the selection of the students. Now, the most important allows the educational center to strengthen pedagogical thing is that there is no mention of the educational practices, providing relevant, relevant and meaningful inclusion -without discrimination- of students with education to these students. Considering that one of the Special Educational Needs (SEN) and the adjustments purposes of educational reform is to ensure all students the that this implies. In consideration of this false intention right to a quality and relevant education, the PIE is an of "educational inclusion" by means of the law, it is important element that the Ministry of Education makes worth repeating the commitments acquired by our available to establishments that offer to those who wish initiate country, both nationally and internationally. Namely: or complete your studies an effective opportunity of attention according to your needs and characteristics. The School Law No. 20,422, which establishes the Rules on Equal Inclusion Law provides the conditions for children, youth and Opportunities and Social Inclusion of Persons with adults who attend colleges and universities that receive Disabilities, and which indicates that the State will be subsidies from the State to receive a quality education. But "in charge of promoting the creation of curricular plans what about the students of other educational systems? The for students with Special Educational Needs, as well as school inclusion law provides the conditions for children and the Equalization of opportunities in access through young people to receive a free quality education. The School services and resources for regular and special schools ". Inclusion Law, which became effective on Tuesday, March 1, 2016, does not contain specific contributions to ensure the real It is true that to achieve social inclusion is not enough with inclusion of students with disabilities. This is the opinion of speeches and laws that ultimately do not translate into concrete the author of this column, who believes that the new standard actions for the benefit of people with disabilities.

    CHAPTER 1: Introduction

    The living conditions and health status of international immigrants in Chile: Comparisons among international immigrants, and between them and the Chilean-born Volume 1 of 2 Main document Baltica Beatriz Cabieses Valdes Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of York Department of Health Sciences August 2011 Cabieses B. (2011) Abstract The Republic of Chile is a middle-income South American country. In recent decades, Chile has faced a “new immigration” pattern, described as young immigrants, coming mostly from Latin American countries to work. This thesis is the first quantitative population-based study exploring the living conditions and health status of international immigrants in Chile. Secondary data analysis of a cross- sectional population-based survey carried out in 2006 is used (the CASEN survey 2006; 268,873 participants from 73,720 households). This study encompasses a large set of Social Determinants of Health (SDH) and analyses their relationship to several health outcomes among immigrants and the Chilean-born population. Those sets of SDH are the following: demographic, socioeconomic, material living standards, access to health care and migration related determinants. A wide range of statistical methods are used throughout this thesis in order to account for the great variability found in this dataset, as well as the complexity and co-linearity involved in most of its variables. Results show 1% of the sample report as international immigrants, coming mainly from Peru (28%), Argentina (26%), Bolivia (6%) and Ecuador (5%). An additional 0.7% chose not to report their migration-status (migration status missing values) and this group is more likely to live in socioeconomic derivation than immigrants.

    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF WHOLE SCHOOLING Vol 6 No. 1 2010 HOW DO WE INCLUDE THOSE CHILDREN? ATTITUDES TOWARD AND PERCEPTIONS OF INCLUSION IN CHILE Todd Fletcher David Allen Bradford Harkins Kristen Mike University of Arizona Cristian Martinich Helena Todd Corporación para el Desarrollo del Aprendizaje The inclusion of students with special educational needs was recently adopted as the national educational policy in Chile. The intention of this policy is to increase the quality of education and equity for all students as outlined in the Salamanca Statement. The adoption of this policy in nation states has created tension and resistance; challenging educational systems to change, transform, re-align and redesign as school systems wrestle with the complex processes of including students with special educational needs. As a result of limited research on inclusive education in Chile and based on previous studies examining this challenging mandate, it was considered imperative to develop a system of data analysis which would focus on educators’ perceptions and attitudes, while eliciting recommendations for its successful implementation. Three themes of general attitudes, implementation and recommendations were determined by the responses received from focus groups. The 75outcomes of this study showed tendencies common to other countries and unique concerns which merit attention, at the international, national and local authority levels. 75 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF WHOLE SCHOOLING Vol 6 No. 1 2010 Introduction During the 1990’s and the first decade of the twenty first century, global educational reform initiatives, the signing of international agreements, and the alignment of national policies to these mandates by the majority of nations has provided a momentum and a foundation for the provision of an equitable and just education by including children with special educational needs in the context of Education for All (EFA).

However, applied research on this topic is not abundant. The purpose of this research is to estimate the job opportunities of people with disabilities in Chile. For this, the data from the second Chilean national disability study were used to make a Multinomial Logistic Regression Model that would help to predict the probability of certain variables that influence job opportunity. For the generated model, variables related to the additional income of people (subsidies or extra income), educational level attained, pursuit of studies, and the degree of disability itself were found. It was determined how some variables affect the employment opportunity, particularly, variables related to continuity and access to studies.
