When is school mandatory in Chile?

Answer 1

Chile has a diverse education system, the different levels being divided into preschool, primary school, secondary school, and higher education.

Schools are run both privately and by the states, the latter ones being locally known as liceos.

Of these, the secondary schools follow a two-pronged approach of scientific-humanities and technical-professional education. The former has to do with the regular courses on literature, history, physics, math, etc., while the latter aims to impart education in practical and technical areas, such as metal working, electricity, etc. There is also a third option, known as artistic education.
