A mass demonstration of over 150,000 was held Thursday in Santiago, Chile, to demand free and quality education. President Michele Bachelet has signed a bill granting free education from kindergarten through high school, but not on a university level. The protest ended with the police using water cannons and tear gas to disperse the crowd, arresting four students during altercations. Demonstrators say their demands are taking a back seat to corporate interests. teleSUR
