 INTRODUCCIÓN

In Chile, the concept of school aid rises given the need to socially assist underprivileged school-
age children. It was established since Carlos Ibáñez del Campo administration when the General Direction
of Primary Education (Dirección General de Educación Primaria) and School Aid Community Bords (Juntas
Comunales de Auxilio Escolar) were created. These Boards were responsible for promoting and organizing
school feeding services and other programs to help students in public schools. In these terms, it was the
first step to get to what we know today as Nacional Board of School Aid and Scholarship (which stands for
Junaeb, in Spanish Junta Nacional de Auxilo Escolar y Becas).
JUNAEB is an organization which belongs to the State Administration. It was created in 1964 by
the Law Nº 15.720. This organization is responsible for managing state resources and founds in order to
ensure that Chilean boys, Chilean girls and Chilean students in general in biopsychosocial vulnerability to
enter into de Educational System, remain in it and be successful through all their educational process.
I. HISTORICAL REVIEW

In Chile, the Mandatory Primary Education Law (Ley de Instrucción Primaria Obligatoria) was
passed in 1920. Its aim is promoting and supporting education and eliminate Chilean high illiteracy that
prevented the development as a country. But one thing was the establishment of a law and another very
different was to facilitate de access to education. That was what made the country think about an
organism which main responsibility were promoting and organizing school feeding services and other
programs to help students in public schools.

In 1928, under Carlos Ibañez del Campo administration, Direccion General de Educacion Primaria
and Juntas Comuncales de Auxilio Escolar were created.

In 1953, it is created JUNAE (National Board of School Aid, in Spanish) which main responsibility
was to manage School Aid Board funds.

Since 1980, JUNAEB have opened its programs with the aid of private entities.
In 1990, when democracy was restored, JUNAEB expanded the funds that covered School Feeding
Program, set up the Students Heath Program, created Camps Programs and Dwelling Program.
In 2002, the World Food Program (WFP), part of the United Nations systems, acknowledged the
school feeding program in Chile as one among the five best in the world and asked to be founding
member of the Latin American School Feeding Network (LA-RAE).
In 2006, JUNAEB took over the managing of Presidente de la Republica Scholarship and the new
Mantencion de Educacion Superior Scholarship.

 SUMMARY

46 years ago, Chile had a population of 8 million and 1 million of them were illiterate. In this
context JUNAEB was developed to change the existing reality and ensure the permanence in the school
system of thousands of children and young people in our country. Since then, the Chilean Government
has been worried about those students in need in order to help them to succed in the educational system.

At present, Junaeb is honored with the 2010 Annual Award of Institutional Excellence because of
the management of the institution has gone hand in hand with growth and development done by the
country in recent decades adapting to changes. The institutional challenge keep being to improve day by
day to get efficiently to the country’s most vulnerable students.
