SANTIAGO, Chile — Riot police battled high school and university students in the streets of Chile’s capital Thursday, firing water cannons and tear gas and using officers on horseback to break up flaming barricades. Police detained 552 students, and at least 14 police officers and two young people were injured. The students are pressing for major changes to Chile’s underfunded and unequal public education system.
