SUBJECT: SECRETARY SPELLINGS AND CHILEAN EDUCATION MINISTER LOOK TO 
INCREASE EXCHANGES AND PARTNERSHIPS 
 
REF: SANTIAGO 1383 
 
1.  SUMMARY:  Department of Education Secretary Margaret Spellings 
and State Department DAS for Academic Programs Thomas Farrell 
discussed the new U.S.-Chile Equal Opportunities Scholarship Program 
with Education Minister Yasna Provoste, encouraging the GOC to 
widely publicize it to talented Chilean candidates for graduate 
study.  Secretary Spellings also urged Chileans to think broadly 
about diverse offerings at a wide range of U.S. institutions. 
Provoste emphasized the importance of this program to Chile.  It 
complements the Bachelet administration's objective of making 
education accessible to all strata of Chilean society.  University 
of Chile President Victor Perez said Chile would welcome U.S. 
experts in education to visit Chile to help with pedagogical 
instruction and reform the country's educational system.  Provoste 
supported this suggestion, and hopes to expand the current 
scholarship program.  Secretary Spellings welcomed the new 
partnership and urged the quick implementation of the agreement. 
End Summary. 
 
2.  Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings, Deputy Assistant 
Secretary of State for Academic Programs Thomas Farrell and a 
 
SIPDIS 
delegation of eight U.S. university presidents and chancellors met 
with Minister of Education Yasna Provoste on August 20.  They 
discussed the broad higher education agenda and reviewed the Equal 
Opportunities Scholarship Program, including future plans.  Minister 
Provoste was accompanied by Education Ministry International Affairs 
Chief Rodrigo Valenzuela, Deputy Director of the Foreign Ministry's 
Office of North American Affairs Mauricio Ugalde, Education Ministry 
Head of Curriculum and Evaluations Pedro Montt, Education Ministry 
Director of the English Opens Doors Program Rodrigo Fabrega, Open 
Doors International Relations Coordinator Carmen Oria, Education 
Ministry Director of Higher Education Julio Castro, and Victor 
Perez, the Pesident of the University of Chile and Vice President 
of the Council of University Rectors (comprised of 25 traditional 
universities). 
 
3.  Minister Provoste expressed her sincere appreciation for the new 
bilateral scholarship program, which will enable up to 100 Chileans 
per year to pursue advanced graduate studies at universities in the 
United States.  She welcomed the English-training component, which 
will make it possible to remove language as a barrier to 
highly-talented Chilean candidates wishing to study in the United 
States.  Provoste emphasized that equal opportunity and access to 
education are top priorities of the Bachelet administration, and 
this joint program fits in well with the GOC agenda. 
 
4.  Secretary Spellings noted that Chile and the United States have 
much in common, including a shared goal of closing the achievement 
gap ("no child left behind"), which is vital to the vibrancy of our 
countries and knowledge-based economies.  The USG and U.S. 
universities are eager to work with Chile to receive its very best 
students and to encourage U.S. students to study in Chile.  The 
Secretary highlighted the rich diversity of U.S. higher education. 
 
SIPDIS 
She urged the GOC to widely publicize the opportunities offered in 
this scholarship program and to encourage Chileans to think broadly 
about the wide range of U.S. institutions and their individual 
specialties. 
 
5.  University of Chile President Victor Perez emphasized that the 
two countries should focus not only on Ph.Ds in science and 
technology, but also include scholarships in the humanities and 
education.  Developing countries such as Chile need a critical mass 
of educators who can improve the system.  Perez noted that German 
teachers came to Chile in the late 1800s and overhauled Chile's 
educational system.  He suggested something similar as a "bridge" in 
the short-term, between now and when the first Chilean Ph.D students 
return to Chile after their years in the United States.  The United 
States could instead send its own recent Ph.Ds in education to train 
Chilean educators in instructional methodology, evaluation, 
curriculum reform, and other pedagogical areas. 
 
6.  DAS Farrell agreed on the importance of the humanities and 
social sciences, which promote respect for the rule of law in a 
democratic society.  Secretary Spellings seconded the point on the 
need to expand cooperation beyond science and technology.  She 
indicated the USG would focus on quickly establishing the current 
agreement, building the numbers of students and adding capacity. 
The Secretary encouraged Minister Provoste to visit U.S. 
institutions and Washington to spread the good news about the 
program. 
 
7.  University of California, Santa Barbara Chancellor Henry Yang 
 
noted there is already considerable cooperation between U.S. and 
Chilean universities as, for example, in the construction of what is 
expected to be the world's largest telescope in Chile.  He 
emphasized that trips of this kind help solidify ties between 
learning institutions.  Yang praised the University of Chile for its 
visible and active role in the Pacific Rim Association of 33 
universities, which includes UC Santa Barbara and 10 other West 
Coast universities. 
 
8.  In a private meeting with Secretary Spellings, Minister Provoste 
urged that a similar scholarship program be developed for talented 
Chilean students attending a network of more than 100 technical and 
vocation institutions.  While expressing interest in the idea, 
Secretary Spellings emphasized the need to get the first phase of 
 
SIPDIS 
the new program up and running. 
 
9.  Department of Education and ECA cleared this message.
