Powerful Incentive

The degree conferred upon me by the University of America with the concurrence of the 24 universities of the Republic of Colombia is a powerful incentive to the work of the Inter-American Development Bank in the field of higher education and research in Latin America. You will forgive me, then, if I take this occasion to mention the role of the Inter-American Bank as the “Bank of the Latin American University,” a role which has placed it in the vanguard of an impressive process of international cooperation for the modernization and decisive expansion of higher education in the Hemisphere. The $55 million it has loaned to 71 institutions in 17 countries bear eloquent testimony to an abiding preoccupation of the Bank in its brief years of existence.

The article addresses the problem of accreditation of educational programs in Mexico. The importance of this type of evaluation is generated based on the policies in which higher education in Latin America is circumscribed. The objective of the research was to carry out a documentary analysis of 21 accreditation documents of seven programs of a public university over three periods, in order to classify the recommendations made by the accrediting instances; The resulting units or categories were as follows: Academic Staff, Students, Curriculum, Collaboration, Research and Program Management. The results show a lack of conceptual delimitation and compliance with international standards in the 21 documents, as well as information that suggests the university should increase the competitiveness of its programs, consolidate collegial work, strength trajectories, and meet the needs of the environment. The authors conclude that there is a need to make explicit the evaluation model that supports the accreditations. In addition, they  describe how the accreditation promotes academic productivity and the establishment of basic conditions for the organization and operation of educational programs.

En el presente artículo, se exponen los «problemas o amenazas» para la creación de un Espacio Común de Educación Superior en Latinoamérica y el Caribe, que proviene de la experiencia de la Unión Europea, la Convención de Bolonia y de iniciativas de creación de espacios comunes propuestos por algunas organizaciones en América Latina. Los problemas jurídicos que se analizan parten del hecho de que en nuestro Continente no existe una organización con la misma capacidad de unificación legal de la Unión Europea. Por tanto, la incorporación de un espacio común de educación superior en América Latina y el Caribe, a través de la suscripción de un convenio entre estados, requiere conocer la normativa interna y el proceso para el reconocimiento de las normas internacionales en las constituciones de cada país (primer problema legal). Por otra parte se identifica que no existe libertad de circulación y/o movilidad en nuestra Región, debido a políticas y leyes migratorias (segundo problema legal). Finalmente se considera la situación social de nuestros países como una tercera limitación, dada la heterogeneidad de los sistemas de educación superior y la escasa calidad de la enseñanza y sus instituciones en algunos casos.This article describes the «problems or threats» for the creation of a Common Space for Higher Education in Latin America and the Caribbean, which comes from the experience of the European Union, the Convention of Bologna, and building initiatives common spaces proposed by some organizations in Latin America. The legal issues are discussed based on the fact that in our continent there is no organization with the same capacity of legal unification of the European Union. Therefore, the incorporation of a common area of higher education in Latin America and the Caribbean, through the signing of an agreement between states, requires knowledge of the internal rules and the process for international recognition in the constitutions of each country (the first legal problem). On the other hand is identified that there is no freedom of movement and / or mobility in our region, due to migration laws and policies (second legal problem). Finally we consider the social situation of our countries as a third limitation, given the heterogeneity of the systems of higher education and the poor quality of education and its institutions in some cases.

Este artículo ha presentado el estado del arte de la deserción universitaria en Europa y América Latina, y el modelo de Centro de Apoyo y Desarrollo Educativo Profesional (CADEP) para observar y tratar de disminuir la deserción estudiantil. Fue un estudio cualitativo con un enfoque hermenéutico donde se analizaron textos de libros, artículos científicos, informes de congresos, artículos de prensa, leyes, políticas y normas institucionales. Los resultados mostraron: que la deserción universitaria en Europa, América Latina y el Caribe oscila del 30% al 60%, centrada en factores como lo económico, familiar, ambiente pedagógico-didáctico, motivacional y afectivos, y que todos estos factores influyen en el rendimiento académico del estudiantado y propician el abandono de la universidad. Todo este planteamiento, permite al proyecto ACACIA ofrecer un sistema articulado de atención integral, que parte de un enfoque diferencial y con acciones que cubre no sólo las necesidades del estudiantado (de accesibilidad y afectividad en la experiencia de enseñanza y aprendizaje) y sus preferencias, sino también acciones y formación dirigidas al profesorado como al personal técnico y administrativo universitario, sin olvidar a la familia y el entorno social en el que se inscribe la universidad incluyendo al tejido empresarial, con una perspectiva integradora y aplicada de la innovación desarrollada.SummaryThis article presents the state of art of the college desertion in Europe and Latin America, as well as the model of the Support Center and Professional Educational Development (CADEP) in order to observe and try to reduce student’s desertion. The study was qualitative with a hermeneutic approach in which we analyzed different texts books, scientific articles, congress reports, press articles, laws, policies and institutional rules. The results revealed that the college desertion in Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean ranges from 30% to 60%, and it is focus on factors such as economic, family, educational, motivational and emotional environment, but most importantly is that all these factors influence the academic performance of students and contribute to the desertion from the university. This whole approach allows the ACACIA project to provide an articulated system of integral attention, that is based on differential approach which includes actions covering not only the needs of the students (accessibility and affection in the experience of teaching and learning) and its preferences, but also actions and training aimed at teachers as well as to the technical and administrative university staff, not forgetting family and the social environment in which the university is a fundamental part, including the business sector, with an integrated perspective of the developed innovation.

Innovation In Higher Education

In the literature on Latin America, any increase in the number of people attending schools is usually considered economically and socially beneficial and a sign of progress. Any increase in the population attending universities is viewed as an especially important change and bound to help economic development. Rarely will any person or group argue that an increase in the number of university students is a drag on the economy and socially pernicious.Yet this is precisely the position taken by a small group within Brazil's Ministério de Educação e Cultura (MEC). Playing the role of a loyal but disgusted opposition, the Instituto Nacional de Estudes Pedagógicos (INEP) continuously attacked the educational policies of the federal and state governments during the 1950s, especially those relating to higher education.
