Abstract

This article describes the context of the public agenda promoted in recent years by the State to address gender and early childhood. It also identifies relevant initiatives that have sought to install this agenda in education and gender policy in Chile. In this framework, two former Undersecretaries of key Ministries in the field of education and gender equality, each from their perspective and considering their experiences from the role they played, discuss relevant aspects related to achievements, difficulties and challenges that the State and Chilean society face regarding the deepening of the transformations of education for gender equality. Particular emphasis is placed on the curricular dimension and the level of Early Chilhood Education.
