I think the article's author got lost in translation: the word "colegio" stands for school, not college.

From what I understand by reading the official government bullet points about this law (http://reformaeducacional.gob.cl), it:

- dissolves all charter schools making them public schools with free admission.

- private schools must reform as non-profits

- forbids any school, private or otherwise, from filtering students with admission tests.

Free college education was a campaign promise by Bachelet's administration but it was not included on this law.

Edit: grammar and formatting
