Students on hunger strike

Twenty students went on hunger strike this week. Villegas, spokesman for Liceo A-131, claimed the objective of the hunger strike was the renationalization of copper to finance education. Pamela, one of the students on hunger strike at Liceo Dario Salas told La Tercera that they decided to be part of this because there hadn't been any solution and it was a way of creating greater pressure.

Lots of students are showing their feelings about this educational system. We've seen hundreds of people going on march in protest over our educational system and in support of the free transport pass.

Government spokesman said strikers could be assured that the government was fully dedicated to improving the quality of our education.
