Educarchile.cl is the portal for the educational community. The purpose of this webpage is to improve the quality of education in Chile. In my opinion this portal is very useful not only for teachers, but also for students’ parents because they can also be involved with new educational policies. This portal contains also an English version designed to inform the rest of the world about the educational system and strategies established in Chile.
This English version is regretfully a poor version because the translation is not accurate. There are so many concepts translated so literal, just like when we were learning English at the very elementary beginning; we were thinking in Spanish and writing in English translating literally the conceptual ideas. Therefore, it seems that they were using a translator to put the text into English. I really feel dissatisfied because on one hand they say they are trying to develop and improve all the existing tools they have to be on the crest of the wave, but on the other hand this translated details previously explained express clearly that they are not trying enough.
