Government presents new school discipline rules: these are the serious and very serious offenses in public and private schools

The government has introduced new disciplinary regulations for public and private schools in response to recent incidents, including a case at the Liceo Naval. The updated guidelines, presented by the President and the Minister of Education, establish a clearer classification of serious and very serious offenses to enforce stricter sanctions across the national education system.

Minister of Education José Antonio Chang stated that these measures aim to eliminate student-on-student aggression. The new framework explicitly categorizes specific behaviors, such as the use of cellular devices and extortion, as grounds for potential expulsion, marking a shift toward more rigorous disciplinary enforcement in schools.
