Chile - Education Minister Felipe Bulnes resigns after a term in office marred by massive educational protests.
The minister has reportedly stepped down due to "personal reasons". He is the second educational minister to resign after President Pinera took office in March 2010.
Economist Harald Beyer is the new minister, an educationist "who advocates reform but does not believe that free university education is the answer" (the BBC reports).
Talks with protesting students failed due to the government's unwillingness to accept the former's demands of free and 'fair' education.
