The Management Team of Parents and Guardians (EGA for its acronym in Spanish) is the organization that represents families in the school; its mission is to create opportunities for them to participate more directly in the education of their sons and daughters.
Parents and guardians who wish to participate in the MTPG may do so according to their possibilities, through the following bodies: The General Assembly, the Directory, the Sub-Centers, and the Council of Course Delegates.
The creation of School Councils, in which parents and guardians are represented, is an opportunity for them to learn, propose, and express their opinions on matters relevant to their children's education.
IMPORTANT
Being part of a parent organization is a voluntary decision.
The Board of Directors must be elected annually by the General Assembly through a universal, secret, and informed vote, within 90 days of the start of the school year.
The amount of the MTPG fees must be approved by the Council of Delegates. In subsidized establishments (municipal and private), your payment is voluntary and cannot exceed 0.5 UTM per year ($32,397 as of March 2024).
The Board of Directors must deliver an Annual Public Account, which is a report detailing its activities during that period.
Legal status is the legal acknowledgment of the existence of the MTPG. Obtaining it allows you to buy, sell, and manage economic resources, enabling access to financing through projects. It also makes the operation of the MTPG more transparent and democratic.
The MTPG can be associated at different levels: by municipalities, provinces, regions, and at the national level. (Asociaciones de EGA).
