Inequality in South America

Inequality in South America


Camilo Ballesteros, a Chilean student leader, who just finished a term as president of the University of Santiago's Students' Union (FEUSACH) delivered a speech  at the University of Calgary (UofC)  February 6 2012 . He came here to talk about the economic inequality in Chile, which is one of the highest in the world. His visit is part of a month-long Canadian tour to raise awareness about education issues in South America. Specifically  he treated the theme about the protests developed the last year in Chile, in which students were asking for universal access to government subsidies for higher education.In this protest  participated over a half million people.
