FLORES, José A. y PERNIA, Endel D.. Global trends marking the development of Ecuador’s higher education: relevance, regionalization and expansion of the academic market. Universitas [online]. 2018, n.29, pp.217-239. ISSN 1390-8634. https://doi.org/10.17163/uni.n29.2018.10.
Ecuador has achieved great progress in terms of quality, inclusion and relevance of Higher Education. However, the higher education system still shows deep gaps which reproduce the structural characteristics of the economic and demographic asymmetry of the country. This study explores the conception of education as a human right and public assets. From this perspective, the study explores the challenges that the higher education system faces. The analysis starts from the data presented by the entities in charge of higher education, and subjects it to a critical reading while presenting ways to regionalize the impacts of the higher education institutions in Ecuador. The data is contrasted with the different social, legal, planning, and development the Ecuadorian framework as well as the international framework (UNESCO and the UN documents among others).
