"I don't want to study, I want to get married!" - this classic credo is not alien to many students, who are more inclined to kiss than gnaw the granite of science. However, kissing is not always a hindrance to study, and sometimes even help! In this paradoxical truth, humanity was convinced by one hundred Chilean students, who on September 1 made a massive autumn kiss in protest against inaccessibility of education.
Autumn kiss after a long summer vacation, it has become the second action in the Chilean capital, Santiago, in the name of knowledge. The problem of the inaccessibility of higher education and the low quality of education in universities does not allow to sleep peacefully, mainly for high school students, and even more for their parents.
Although higher education in Chile is considered the best in all of Latin America, and over 95% of the population are literate, not everything is so smooth. First, public schools are poorly funded, and private schools do not take children of the poor. Secondly, there are not enough places in public universities, and it is expensive to study in private ones. According to official figures, the situation has improved quite recently, but ordinary Chileans do not know anything about it.
Back on July 6 (in Chile, like ours, the introductory campaign is taking place at this time), two thousand young people gathered in the capital's Plaza de Armas to wrestle with kisses with the educational policy of the state. The news of this flash mob spread throughout the media around the world, but the evil is obviously not defeated.
Next flashmob kiss, autumn, gathered much fewer people - probably, on the Day of Knowledge, students already had something to do. One cannot but wish good luck to the Chilean youth - however, the success of their action is doubtful. After all, even if the authorities completely eradicate the shortcomings of the educational system, students will still not stop kissing, which means there is no point in fulfilling their requirements.
