<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="There was no public education system during the Spanish colonial era. The church may have operated some schools, but we have little information on the colonial period at this time. Chile declared independence (1810), but the Royalists were not finally defeated until several years later (1818). It is during this period that Chileans began to consider a state-funded public school system. Chile’s educational system developed in the 19th century. Educators primarily used French and German models as they built a national system. Progress was slow. Schools were most available in the cities and it was mostly the middle class that pursued education beyond the first few years of primary school. Primary school attendance was not compulsory until 1920 and even then there was no real enforcement of the law. The construction of new schools meant that schooling was becoming increasingly accessable during the 1920s. The Depression limited further proigress in the 1930s, but more progress was made in the 1940s. Poverty still prevented many children from pursuing education. The education of poor children was not addressed until major reforms in 1953. Another major reform has made secordary school compulsory (2003).  With photos and text. ">

<p> We note the Deutsche Schule / Colegio Alemán which was established in Quilpé (1894).  Quilpé is located near San Pablo in southern Chile.  This is in the Chilean Lake Distructs where many Germans lived.  In early times the school was known also as "Colegio Campestre" (Country School) because the lessons often took place in open-air.  We are not sure just how the curriculum was governed by Chilean school regulations.  Chile has a German community, but gradually the curriculum became primarily taught in Spanish.  The photograph here shows a class of the German School of Quilpué in 1935.  The school moved to El Salto and changed its name to the Charlesmagne School (2003).  Although it was a bilingual school, the pupils are now basically taught in Spanish.
