Online Interactive Video Program for Chilean Adults Seeking their Secondary Education Certificate (AEIF 2012)

Chile has 9 million inhabitants, 5 million of which have not completed secondary education. To complete their studies, Chileans must either attend a school for adults or take a validation exam administered by the Ministry of Education. Oftentimes, the adults live too far from these designated schools or are ill prepared to take the validation exam due to a lack of preparatory materials. About 20% who take the exam pass it successfully. This project will provide all the contents for the previously mentioned validation exam, in accordance with the Chilean adult national education standards, through an online system with interesting, motivating and sequenced lessons in video capsules. The main goal of this project is to increase educational level, employment opportunities and entrepreneurship awareness to promote social inclusion of 100 people aged 18 or older who have not finished high school.
