Considering “politics” as a framework, the article analyzes the evolution of educational policies in Chile in the period 1990-2010 (equivalent to four terms of office of the same center-leftist coalition) and their impact on coverage, quality and equity of the school system, and also considers Chilean society’ attitude towards education and its political effects. Finally, the paper refers to some structural results that educational policies did not look for
