Post # 9: Improving your faculty facilities.

I am studying in what we call “the Escuelita”, the Escuelita is part of the INAP or Institute of Public Management of the University of Chile. We don`t really have a faculty for a lot of manage problem, the school of government and public management has never been for a long time in a faculty, so that set us in a disadvantage situation in comparison with the other faculties or institutes of the University. There is such a big gap between some faculties and our schools, if you go to the economic faculty and then come here you are probably going to ask yourself if you are in the same university.
The most important things to improve in “the Escuelita” is the infrastructure, it is really bad, almost going down and that is very depressive even for people who is not a student of this major. The out side people can see how unfair is the distribution of the money in the university. Although in the last year there have been some changes for good, they are not enough. We nee improve our classrooms, more places where read in quiet and places to study in groups.
Personally I think that if we want to change this current situation we need to put more emphasize in the good management of the recourses of the university, and also making more awareness among the students. To resolve this situation I would propose a plan to reorganize the resources, and building a new place for this major with all the things that we demand. If we have more space to develop our skills, a comfortable place to study and the facilities to improve in the major the benefits would be great. Probably more people would be interested in apply for this major, other important point is that a lot of student who get in to this major in the firs or second year quit because this was not what they were thinking about and the environment doesn´t help to full their expectations of what it mean being a student in the University of Chile.
The most important and closest improvement that we need is in relation with the professor’s matters, if the university can not pay well and in the right time is very difficult thing that we could improve in the infrastructure. Finally all the promises still being the biggest dream of “the Escuelita”.
