This article examines the major consequences of the neoliberal education system implemented in Chile during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet and how two important student movements contested this structure. In 2006 and 2011, thousands of students filled the streets to demand better public education, more social justice and equal opportunities. They rejected the freemarket fundamentalism in education that has generated segregation, stratification and inequalities. Students have become important political actors who re-evaluated the discussion on education in Chile. By doing so, they are rejecting the competitive and privatized nature of the current system, which is lacking in quality and equity, and they are demonstrating that new 'social imaginary' in Chilean education is possible.

ResumenEn este artículo se expone la relación entre los campos periodístico y educacional a partir de un caso de estudio: el movimiento estudiantil chileno 2011. El estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar los editoriales de los dos diarios más importantes de Chile para describir su rol como actores políticos en el debate edu cacional durante el movimiento estudiantil. Se empleó una metodología mixta (análisis de contenido y análisis de discurso). Los resultados indican que los editoriales se concentraron en las repercusiones po líticas del conflicto, enfatizando los caminos de acción que el sistema político debería tomar. El discurso de los editoriales se caracteriza por defender el rol de los actores privados en educación, por asignar las responsabilidades en los agentes asociados a la educación pública y por enmarcar el problema educacional en una situación coyuntural, desconociendo su carácter sistémico. Palabras clave: Encuadre, discurso, política, educación, editoriales. Framing Educational Policies: The media as political actors in education AbstractThis article describes the relationship between journalistic and educational fields via a case study of the 2011 Chilean student movement. Considering the above, this study analyzes the editorials of two of the most influential newspapers in Chile in order to describe their roles as political actors in the educational debate during the student movement. Through the implementation of mixed methods (content analysis and discourse analysis), it was found that the editorials focused on the political repercussions of the con flict, emphasizing the actions that the political system should take. The discourse of the editorials de fended the privatization initiative in education by placing the blame on public education for its current state and it also framed the educational problem as a temporary situation, ignoring its systemic nature.
