The university is in the eye of the hurricane due to the millionaire payments for services received during the Piñera II government, and specifically when Cubillos was Minister of Education.
The controversy over the millionaire remuneration that Marcela Cubillos received for her time in San Sebastian University I add a new chapter, after they met the bulky transfers of resources to the house of studies by the Mineduc during the administration of the now mayoral candidate, during the second government of Sebastián Piñera.
According to a Ciper report, The educational institution received $1,479 million from the Undersecretary of Education, for payment of services when Marcela Cubillos was Minister of Education, between August 2018 and February 2020.
During the Piñera government, the university was positioned as one of the largest suppliers to the State, since it registered a total of more than $7,000 million in purchase orders, where $5.7 billion were delivered by the Undersecretary of Education, for different teacher training programs and technical advice for teacher evaluation.
Of these $5,700 million, $1,479 million were managed during Cubillos’ time through the Mineduc, in contrast to the $9 million and $144 million that the San Sebastián University received, in 2016 and 2017, before Piñera’s return to La Moneda.
In the first year of Gabriel Boric’s mandate, the USS obtained $3,642 million, since in 2022 it agreed to various agreements signed in the previous administration, such as the contract for the COVID-19 clinical sample analysis service, which amounted to almost $2 billion. After that year, purchase orders were reduced to $515 million in 2023.
