Chile teacher qualification gap widens: 23.4% unqualified, double OECD average

OECD data shows 23.4% of Chile's public-school teachers lack full qualifications, more than double the OECD average of 9.1%, with 8.4% of fully qualified teachers also noted. This highlights a persistent structural weakness in Chile's education system, likely fueling domestic political debate over education reform. The report is a data point, not a sudden event, but it underscores a chronic policy challenge.
