Bachelet II flagship tertiary-education reform. Introduced in the 2016 budget law (Ley de Presupuestos 20.882) as a transitory annual funding mechanism and consolidated by Ley 21.091 of May 2018. Fully funds tuition for students from the lowest income deciles (initially lowest 50%, subsequently extended) at accredited universities and CFT/IP institutions that accept regulated fee schedules and operate without profit motive at the university level. Implementation required fee-ceiling negotiation, institutional accreditation gates, and shifts in financing away from the prior CAE state-guaranteed student-loan model. Budget cost has risen materially through 2018-2025 and the coverage ceiling (deciles 1-6 at universities) has been a recurring budget-process contest under both Piñera II and Boric.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
