Abstract

This paper introduces the educational conditions of foreign children in the present Chilean school system. Based on the existing literature and on a field participative project carried out in 2017-2018, this paper identifies the Chilean school system, deeply rooted in Chilean history as a nationalist and neoliberal organization, where - based on this - students from foreign countries encounter racism and class segregation. In this respect it has to be mentioned that teacher training in Chile does not touch upon any aspect of preventing discriminations, neither regarding their way of managing their students' mutual relationships, nor regarding a reflexive approach that teachers need to identify their own personal prejudices reflected in their everyday professional practice.
