Students' centres are democratically elected yearly.

In Chile, the centros de alumnos (English: students' centres), also known as centros de estudiantes, are student organisations present in all the country's high schools and most of the primary schools. Their creation was contemplated since the enactment of the Ministry of Education of Chile's Supreme Decree #524 of 19 April 1990, although they have existed long before. Students' centers' goals are described by the ministry, in their Ayuda Mineduc website, as "serving their members, based on the purposes of the school and subscribed to the rules of student organization, as a way to develop their reflective thinking, critical judgment, and their will of action; to educate [the students] for the democratic life, and to prepare them to participate in the social and cultural changes."
