Women Register Better Writing Than Men In All Socioeconomic Groups

The evaluation was done to the sixth grade students. For the first time, the questions were all of development so according to the authorities it is complex to compare the results with previous years.

The Minister of Education, Adriana Delpiano, together with the Executive Secretary of the Quality Agency, Carlos Henríquez, and the president of the Council of the agency of the quality of education, Paulina Araneda, gave this morning to know the results of the test Simce de Escritura, applied to sixth grade students in October 2016.
The test measured the writing abilities of 212,621 children in 5,142 schools under four criteria: communicative purpose, textual organization, coherence and development of ideas.
The maximum score of the test reached was of 65 and the minimum of 12, which gave a national average of 51, one point less than in 2016.
However, these differences are not significant since, for the first time in the history of the test, the questions were only focused on the development questions, leaving aside the multiple selection, so there are no single answers.

Chile: El Desarrollo En Transición: Nuevas Realidades, Nuevos Enfoques

Chile se encuentra en una situación económica diferente a la de principios de los años noventa y la cooperación que hoy exige el país es otra. Pero todavía es necesario, porque el crecimiento económico y el desarrollo son asuntos que requieren tratamiento diferente.

En 2013, el Comité de Ayuda al Desarrollo (CAD) de la OCDE revisó la lista de países que pueden recibir la Ayuda Oficial al Desarrollo (AOD) y determinó que Chile, Uruguay y Antigua y Barbuda, países de altos ingresos, el umbral de ingreso per cápita fijado por el Banco Mundial (aproximadamente $12.700). Es decir, en términos concretos, para el CAD, los tres países mencionados han alcanzado un nivel de desarrollo que los excluye de la posibilidad de ser receptores de cooperación.

Development In Transition: New Realities, New Approaches

Chile is in an economic situation different from that of the early 1990s and the cooperation that the country demands today is another. But it is still necessary, because economic growth and development are matters that require different treatment.

In 2013, the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) reviewed the list of countries eligible for Official Development Assistance (ODA) and determined that Chile, Uruguay and Antigua and Barbuda, high-income countries , would graduate in October 2017 if they continued to exceed the per capita income threshold set by the World Bank (approximately $ 12,700). That is to say, in concrete terms, for the DAC the three countries mentioned have reached a level of development that leaves them out of the possibility to be recipients of cooperation.
