María Jesús Sanhueza (born 1990) is a Chilean student leader, communist youth activist and a former leading organizer and spokesperson of the Asamblea Nacional de Estudiantes Secundarios (National Assembly of High School Students a.k.a. ANES) which conducted demonstrations, marches and school occupations that occurred throughout Chile between April and June 2006. The highly coordinated mobilization of children between the ages of 11 – 17 was subsequently joined by University students and had massive nation-wide support. It is estimated that up to 700,000 students took part in the mobilization that exposed the endemic inequalities and failings of the Chilean educational system based largely on the Ley orgánica Constitucional de Enseñanza (Organic Constitutional Law on Teaching) established by Pinochet in 1990.
