Declaration:
The Government of Chile has signed this Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, mindful of the important step which this document represents, not only in terms of the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women, but also in terms of their full and permanent integration into society in conditions of equality.
The Government is obliged to state, however, that some of the provisions of the Convention are not entirely compatible with current Chilean legislation.
At the same time, it reports the establishment of a Commission for the Study and Reform of the Civil Code, which now has before it various proposals to amend, inter alia, those provisions which are not fully consistent with the terms of the Convention.

Chapter III - Constitutional rights and obligations
Art.19
The Constitution guarantees to all persons:
(10) The right to education. The objective of education is the complete development of the individual in the various stages of his life. Parents have the preferential right and duty to educate their children. The State shall provide special protection for the exercise of this right. Basic education is mandatory; to that effect, the State must finance a gratuitous system designed to ensure access thereto by the entire population.
(11) Freedom of teaching includes the right to open, organize and maintain educational establishments. Freedom of education has no other limitations but those imposed by morals, good customs, public order and national security. Officially recognized education cannot be directed towards propagating any type of political-partisan tendency. Parents have the right to choose the educational establishment for their children.
