ABSTRACT
The accumulated experience of reforms in the Chilean education is characterized by having placed an extreme confidence in the market as a context of institutional regulation. The market would provide an favorable environment to detonating processes of school improvement, achieving expected results and increasing the well-being of families. The debate over whether these policies contribute to raising quality is at the center of the public interest. Unintended consequences would be the commodification of the system, the erosion of municipal tuition and school segregation. The present article presents a review of the conceptual strategies around market policies in education, analyzing their central components and the actions that schools develop in competitive environments.
