| Abstract: | The impact of the 1981 reforms on the system of higher education in Chile is described and analyzed. The system has been diversified by the encouragement of private universities, the creation of professional institutes and the establishment of centers for technical formation. Changes in the funding system have, however, led to problems with student loan recovery and to private universities concentrating on subjects with low costs. Though the participation rate has greatly increased, the existence of empty places, especially in the newer private universities, is evidence of over-provision. |
