 At the meeting, the university representatives delivered a document with seven points of convergence to seek consensus with the rectors.

For about an hour and a half, the executive committee of the Council of Rectors of Chilean Universities (CRUCH) held a meeting with representatives of the Confederation of Students of Chile (CONFECH), to share their views regarding the reform of higher education and the Great National Education Agreement (GANE), presented by the Government.

CONFECH presented the university rectors with a document outlining seven proposals they hope to reach a consensus on with university authorities. The Council of Rectors pledged to analyze these requests and provide a prompt response.
Upon leaving the meeting, Rector Victor Pérez, Executive Vice President of CRUCH, praised these kinds of forums and acknowledged the important role university students have played in the educational debate, stating, “Our relationship with students is very respectful. Students have made a great contribution by placing the issue of higher education on the public agenda.”.
