With the conclusion of Chile’s presidential primaries, students begin high school occupations once more in nation’s capital.

Students from four high schools in Santiago have once again captured their schools, after they were evicted by police last Thursday to allow the buildings to be used as polling booths for the primary presidential elections.

The students demanded the improvements to infrastructure and increased student involvement in executive decisions, as well as their overarching demands of free, superior education and nationalization of the country’s natural resources.
