Mi participación hoy en @adnradiochile , conversando sobre el Estudio del SAE que estamos haciendo con Gabriel Gutiérrez!
📻 EN VIVO | SAE: ESTUDIO UC ADVIERTE QUE LA PROPUESTA DEL GOBIERNO PODRÍA AUMENTAR LA SEGREGACIÓN ESCOLAR 📚
Una investigación basada en datos reales del Sistema de Admisión Escolar 2024 plantea que una cuota de 20% de estudiantes prioritarios no sería suficiente para reducir la segregación y sitúa el umbral efectivo entre 50% y 70%.
🎙️ En #PaísADN conversamos con Fernanda Ramírez-Espinoza, académica del College UC y del Departamento de Ingeniería Industrial de la PUC, sobre los resultados del estudio y sus implicancias youtube.com/watch?v=TF3nTEun…

Economics pre-doc experiences vary widely. Before accepting an offer for a position, it is worth talking with others who have previously worked in the same team.
