Servicio de Información de Educación Superior

What Servicio de Información de Educación Superior does

The Servicio de Información de Educación Superior (SIES) is a government information service operated under the Subsecretaría de Educación Superior within Chile's Ministry of Education (MINEDUC). Established in 2006 under Article 49 of Law 20.129, SIES is the mandated national information system for higher education in Chile, responsible for collecting, processing, and disseminating data on the country's universities, professional institutes (IPs), and technical training centers (CFTs). It serves four primary user groups: prospective higher education students and their families, government and policy makers, and the higher education institutions themselves that report data to the system. In 2026, SIES tracked 1,497,548 enrolled students across all higher education programs, representing a 3% year-over-year increase and the fifth consecutive year of enrollment growth.

SIES's product portfolio centers on the mifuturo.cl public portal, which hosts four search tools (Buscador de Carreras, Buscador de Instituciones, Buscador de Estadísticas por Carrera, and Buscador de Empleabilidad e Ingresos), two interactive Power BI dashboards for enrollment and graduation data, and downloadable longitudinal databases covering enrollment, graduation, academic staff, and academic offerings from 2007 through 2026. The underlying technology stack is a web-based information portal with Power BI visualizations, database-driven search tools, and downloadable Excel/PDF datasets. SIES also publishes annual reports covering enrollment trends, graduation rates, real and over-duration analysis, regional data sheets, and a historical compendium. The service is distributed through direct-to-consumer web access, with integration into the FUAS financial aid application system and the acceso.mineduc.cl government portal.

SIES operates as a non-commercial public service. All products, databases, search tools, and reports are provided free of charge to end users. The entity is funded through Chile's national government budget and generates no user fees, advertising revenue, or licensing income. It has no external shareholders, no funding rounds, no subsidiaries, and no international footprint — its operations are exclusively domestic to Chile. There is no management team disclosed beyond the parent ministry structure, and no commercial pricing tiers exist.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS): UN-affiliated global education data repository that Chile feeds into. Comparable as a public-sector education data authority with global scope; SIES is a national data source for this network.
• OECD Education at a Glance / OECD.Stat: OECD's flagship education data publication covering indicators across member countries, including Chile. Comparable as a higher-level data aggregator that includes Chilean higher education statistics and contextualizes SIES data internationally.

Others

• Consejo Nacional de Educación (CNED): Chilean regulatory body that oversees higher education quality and approves new programs and institutions. SIES provides the data infrastructure CNED uses for approvals and oversight, making it a key upstream dependency.
• DEMRE (Departamento de Evaluación, Medición y Registro Educacional): Chilean organization that administers university admissions tests (PSU/PAES). Comparable as an adjacent education data and assessment authority in Chile that interacts with the same prospective student audiences as SIES.

Direct peers

• IPEDS (Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System): NCES' higher education-specific data collection program covering enrollment, graduation, and institutional finance in the US. Functionally analogous to SIES for the higher education segment.
• INEP (Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira): Brazil's federal education statistics and evaluation agency, operating the Censo da Educação Superior. Comparable in mandate to collect, process, and publish higher education data for a national system.
• Office for Students (OfS): England's higher education regulator that publishes data on provider performance, student outcomes, and financial sustainability. Comparable as a regulator with comparable public-facing data reporting obligations.
• SNIES (Sistema Nacional de Información de la Educación Superior): Colombia's national higher education information system, which similarly aggregates enrollment, graduation, and institutional data for policy and public use. Directly comparable as another Latin American state-run higher education data authority.
• NCES (National Center for Education Statistics): The US federal statistical agency responsible for collecting and reporting education data, including higher education. Comparable as the closest international analogue in role and data scope.

Regional players

• ANUIES (Asociación Nacional de Universidades e Instituciones de Educación Superior): Mexican higher education association that publishes aggregated data on universities and institutions. Comparable as a regional Latin American higher education data aggregator, though structured as a membership body rather than a state agency.
