There is also a pre-school education system which is not obligatory, but recomended. The school system is regulated by a Constitutional law and also the Constitution recognice the right of education. Gobernmet has to watch over the observance of the right level of education wich is given in every school. Besides, every year the state evaluates the level of every student trough two tests: the SIMCE test and the PSU test. In Chile, there is three kinds of schools: private Schools, public schools and private schools subventioned by the government. Most of schools impose their students to wear uniforms, men use pants, shirt and tie and woman use skirt or a jumper. The reason of this measure is to avoid distinctions among the students and to make the clothing cheaper.
