What is the Preferential School Grant?

The Preferential School Subsidy Law seeks to promote equal opportunities for the most vulnerable students in our country by providing additional resources for the development and implementation of an Educational Improvement Plan for the institutions that serve them.

Who are the priority students?

Priority students will be understood as those students for whom the socioeconomic situation of their households primarily hinders their ability to successfully navigate the educational process.

The status of priority student is determined annually by the Ministry of Education, through the National Board of School Assistance and Scholarships (JUNAEB).

How is the priority status of a student determined?

a) The family must belong to the Chile Solidario System.
b) To be within the most vulnerable third according to the Social Protection Sheet.
c) The parents or guardians are in section A of FONASA.
d) Family income, education level of the mother, father, or guardian, rurality, and poverty of the community.

Our school has developed an improvement plan with strategically allocated financial resources to achieve the set goals.

These were designed to be implemented gradually, which requires us to have a continuous review, to consolidate teams, and to seek creative solutions to problems that have not been resolved before.

The improvement plan is comprehensive because it must cover all aspects and all students in our school. Additionally, it has been developed in a participatory manner, proposing technically valid solutions that are feasible to implement and possible to finance with the funds from this law, which will lead us to achieve the long-desired quality education.

We have developed our educational improvement plan, which includes changes at the curricular management level, optimizing planning, supporting teaching management in the classroom, and providing comprehensive support to our students with a psychologist, educational psychologist, and counselor, reinforcement in spanish and mathematics, and incorporating actions related to institutional management in all its aspects.

Our challenge is that our improvement plan serves as an opportunity to establish new and better institutionalized practices so that the children in our school achieve quality learning.

In this task, our entire community is committed.
