A protester throws a rock at a huddle of shielded police after students held a massive march demanding free education in Santiago, Chile, on April 11, 2013. The marches began during the 2006-2010 Michelle Bachelet administration and have troubled current President Sebastian Pinera even more. Pinera's government is focusing a chunk of the 2013 budget on financing school loans at lower rates. But students say the system still fails them, with poor public schools, expensive private universities, unprepared teachers and unaffordable loans. (Photo by Luis Hidalgo/Associated Press)
