THE STRATEGY TO DEVELOP CHILE’S PERMANENT EDUCATION SYSTEM April 2009, Washington D.C.

1.CHILE’S POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC CONTEXT 2.PROVISIONAL IMPACT EVALUATION, LABOR COMPETENCES AND LEVELING 3.INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS AND STRATEGY TO BUILD THE VIABILITY OF THE PERMANENT EDUCATION SYSTEM 4.CURRENT CHALLENGES

CHILE IS A MIDDLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNTRY IN THE INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT CHILE IS AN OPEN ECONOMY EXPOSED TO A HIGH LEVEL OF CHANGE THE EDUCATION SYSTEM OPERATES BASED ON THE REGULATORY AND FINANCIAL ROLE OF THE STATE AND THE PRIVATE OR MUNICIPAL PRODUCTION OF EDUCATION SERVICES THE STATE IS ORGANIZED INTO SECTORS AND THE EDUCATIONAL FUNCTIONS ARE DISTRIBUTED ACROSS VARIOUS GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC CONTEXT

THE STATE’S CHALLENGE IN A DEMOCRATIC MODERNIZATION NEW FORMS OF INTERACTION WITH A CHANGING CITIZENSHIP NEW PROBLEMS PRESENT IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION THE STATE’S INADEQUACY TO DEAL WITH SUPRA-SECTORIAL PROBLEMS

DEFICIT OF BASIC COMPETENCES IN THE LABOR FORCE, EXPRESSED AS LOW SCHOOLING. POOR QUALITY AND PERTINENCE OF TECHNICAL TRAINING, IN SECONDARY AND HIGHER EDUCATION. LOW QUALITY, PERTINENCE AND TARGETING OF TRAINING. NIL ARTICULATION ACROSS FORMAL, NON FORMAL AND INFORMAL EDUCATION MODALITIES. LACK OF AN INTEGRATED INFORMATION SYSTEM, FOR USE BY EDUCATION DEMAND AND SUPPLY AGENTS. HUMAN CAPITAL PROBLEM IN CHILE

LEGAL PROGRESS TO LAY THE BASIS OF THE PERMANENT EDUCATION SYSTEM (SFP) AND PROVISIONAL EVALUATION OF IMPACT – TECHNICAL EFFECTIVENESS IN COMPETENCES AND LEVELING PROGRAMMATIC LINES

1.LABOR COMPETENCES NATIONAL CERTIFICATION SYSTEM LAW 2.DRAFT GENERAL EDUCATION LAW 3.NEW ADULT CURRICULAR FRAMEWORK 4.NATIONAL TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT NATIONAL SERVICE LAW LEGAL PROGRESS AS AT 2009

QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL WITH EX-POST AND CONTROL GROUP MEASUREMENTS SURVEY SEEKING TO MEASURE POST-PROGRAM SITUATION (2008) AND RECONSTRUCT PRE-PROGRAM SITUATION (2005) BY MEANS OF RETROSPECTIVE QUESTIONS BENEFICIARIES: SAMPLE OF TRAINED PEOPLE, IN ADDITION TO TRAINED AND CERTIFIED YEAR 2006 CONTROLS: SAMPLE OF INDIVIDUALS WITH SIMILAR CHARACTERISTICS DRAWN FROM THE CASEN 2006 SURVEY (HOUSEHOLDS) IMPACT ESTIMATOR: AVERAGE EFFECT OF THE PROGRAM ON THE PARTICIPANTS (EPPP) AND BROKEN DOWN BY SEX, 40 YEARS, METROPOLITAN REGION / OTHER REGIONS, WITH CERTIFICATION OF COMPETENCES/ WITHOUT CERTIFICATION OF COMPETENCES DESIGN OF IMPACT EVALUATION OF COMPETENCE-BASED TRAINING

GIVEN THE DISTRIBUTION, THE CHOICE BASED SAMPLING IS CORRECTED BY MEANS OF WEIGHTING FACTORS PAIRING BASED ON PROPENSITY SCORES MATCHING A DIFFERENT PARTICIPATION MODEL WAS USED TO ESTIMATE THE IMPACTS IN EACH SUB-SAMPLE PAIRING METHOD: GAUSSIAN KERNEL.

A positive incidence of the leveling line is an important indicator of success of the demand strengthening strategy, in the context of setting the foundations for the installation of the SFP.”

WHY WAS CHILECALIFICA CREATED THE AIM WAS A STRATEGIC INSTANCE OF ARTICULATION ACROSS THREE GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS THAT BY USING DEMONSTRATION AND PROGRAMATIC EXPERIENCES, WOULD INTEGRATE PUBLIC POLICIES IN THE AREAS OF EDUCATION, LABOR AND ECONOMY OBJECTIVE OF THE STRATEGY USED SOLVING THE LACK OF PERTINENT DEVELOPMENT OF THE PERMANENT EDUCATION SYSTEM BY LEVERAGING THE WORK OF THE CHC PROGRAM AND INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCES TO GENERATE A PERMANENT SOLUTION

CURRENT CHALLENGES

CONSOLIDATION OF INSTITUTIONALITY WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FOR PERMANENT EDUCATION POLICIES. DEVELOPMENT OF A DISTRIBUTED INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR SFP STAKEHOLDERS. DEVELOPMENT OF SFP INTEGRATION INSTITUTIONALITY. INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF THE QUALIFICATIONS FRAMEWORK. REGULAR OPERATION OF SNCCL. CONSOLIDATING TRANSFORMATIONS IN THE TRAINING SYSTEM. DEVELOPMENT OF TERRITORIAL DIMENSION OF SFP.
