Google translate: School Admission System starts operating in Tarapacá, Coquimbo, O'Higgins and Los Lagos

"This Thursday, August 30, the applications for the new Admission System for Schools in the Tarapacá, Coquimbo, O'Higgins and Los Lagos regions begin.

"The new admission mechanism was designed by the Ministry of Education in conjunction with Industrial Engineering academics - Rafael Epstein, José Correa and Juan Escobar - as well as a team made up of master students, professionals, doctoral students abroad and post -docs

"Applied science, not tombola  (AT of GT 'tombola' = lottery)

"Applied successfully in the region of Magallanes since 2016, the new School Admission System is designed with scientific rigor and the assignment of students to schools is the result of the celebrated Deferred Assignment Algorithm
