Chile ends 17-year school computer program; funds redirected to dictatorship memorials

Chile's Finance Minister Jorge Quiroz confirmed the 'Yo Elijo mi PC' program will not continue in 2027, ending a 17-year policy that provided computers to 96,000 students annually at a cost of $35 million. The decision follows a review of over 600 programs, with funds reportedly redirected to dictatorship memorials, marking a significant shift in education spending priorities.
