Sumario:This paper focuses on the analysis of the topic of education in the Chilean political discourse during 2006-2013. For this purpose the study employed corpus linguistics method for political discourse analysis. Mainly, the paper focused on eight official presidential discourses pronounced annually on the 21st of May, thus, dating from the M. Bachelet's government of 2006 to that of S. Piñera's in 2013. The results both of quantitative and qualitative analysis demonstrate: 1) A steady growth in the presence of education topic in the presidential discourses starting with its low coverage in 2006 and finishing with its maximum in 2013; 2) A close association of education with the words quality and higher; 3) Positive semantic prosody of the collocations around the node "education."
