High school students are beneficiaries of FIE 2022

21 •  December •  2021
  • 50 professional technical schools in 12 regions will receive between $15 and $25 million to develop projects aimed at strengthening access to higher education.

More than 180 technical-professional schools in Chile applied for the FIE 2022 Strengthening Educational Initiatives, a $500 million competitive fund that aims to promote access to higher education for young people in technical-professional secondary education.

The FIE is one of the pillars of MueveTP, a national initiative that seeks to promote the continuity of studies of young people who graduate from technical-professional secondary education, in order to expand their development opportunities and improve their life expectations, as well as those of their families.

Vocational guidance, development of socio-emotional and 21st century skills, learning leveling and development of general competencies, recognition of prior learning (RAP) and internships and/or certifications are the types of projects that may be implemented by the schools benefiting from the FIE 2022. The selected initiatives belong to educational establishments in 12 regions of Chile.

The executive director of MueveTP, María Fernanda Orellana, explains that “each of the projects will receive funding ranging between $15 and $25 million pesos, which will benefit a total enrollment of close to 7 thousand students. It is a great opportunity for the schools to use these resources and leave permanent capacities in the schools, so that access to higher education becomes part of the DNA of the educational communities”.

50 schools have benefited from the FIE 2022. Of the total number of winners, 41 projects correspond to collective initiatives, that is, projects submitted by two or three schools. On the other hand, 9 of the winners correspond to individual initiatives, submitted by a single school.

One of the main characteristics of the FIE is that the initiatives submitted are designed and developed by each educational community as a whole and respond to the specific needs of each educational establishment.

The FIE 2022 will begin its implementation next March and the execution of the resources will be for one year, to benefit students who are about to graduate from secondary technical and professional education.
