Confederation of Chilean Students
The Confederation of Chilean Students (Spanish: Confederación de Estudiantes de Chile, CONFECH) is a student organization in Chile that congregates the student federations of universities in Chile.
It was established on October 23, 1984, in Valparaiso.[1] In 2012, CONFECH called for a march on the streets of Santiago in response to a government commissions that seven Chilean universities had been pocketing profits; over 100,000 Chilean students participated in the march.[2] CONFECH also organized student demonstrations against proposed government higher education reforms.[3]
Former CONFECH leader Gabriel Boric became president of Chile in 2022.[4]
