1988 marks the beginning in Chile of the System for the Measurement of Quality in Education (SIMCE). In 30 years, this policy has gained increased importance to order the school system. Considered at the end of the dictatorship a key element to promote school competition, it has been defended as a vital technical device to ensure school quality by means of delivering pedagogical information to the schools. In this essay, we argue that the defence of SIMCE as a mere technical device to promote educational quality has allowed the concealment of one of its primary functions: to produce competition among schools.
