Abstract

This chapter presents the case of the Pontifcia Universidad Católica de Chile in supporting the school system during the Covid-19 pandemic. It shows how supporting individual faculty initiatives as well as interinstitutional collaborations and participating in and supporting specifc policies shaped a complex array of support for a highly atomized school system because of its market-driven arrangements. The case study also shows that, beyond individual initiatives, collaboration among Chilean universities was key for rapidly responding to the emerging needs of schools.
