Storyline


Hundreds of students and police officers clashed Thursday for more than four hours in Chile's capital Santiago after security forces prevented them from carrying out an unauthorized protest march.

The authorities have not indicated how many people were arrested or injured in the disturbances that extended throughout downtown Santiago.

The police moved in to disperse the students as soon as they had begun gathering in Santiago's Plaza Italia to start their march.

The students tried to regroup on several occasions, leading to a series of clashes with police, who used tear gas and water cannons against the rock-throwing demonstrators.

The clashes are the latest of high-profile protests in Chile in recent weeks against slow education reforms by President Michelle Bachelet.

Bachelet, who began her second presidential term in 2014, campaigned on a slew of reforms that included shaking up Chile's highly privatized education system and making university free of charge.

However, the planned reforms have been delayed and scaled back over the past year due to uncooperative Congress, far-reaching corruption scandals, and a sluggish economy.
