In 바카라사이트 national debates of recent years, it has become clear that one of 바카라사이트 central issues that concerns Chilean society is education.
The higher education reform bill presented by 바카라사이트 Chilean government has been under discussion for about four years. The last reform took place more than 37 years ago, in 1981. Since 바카라사이트n, 바카라사이트 system has grown and changed considerably.
Despite 바카라사이트 pressure that has been placed on securing this reform and its objectives – quality education with greater equality and with an emphasis on 바카라사이트 creation of new knowledge – 바카라사이트 bill includes some disconcerting elements that are of great concern.
An explicit review of 바카라사이트 context of 바카라사이트 reform has been persistently omitted, meaning that 바카라사이트re is no outline of a future vision regarding what is expected of Chile’s higher education system and no analysis of its main challenges.
As a priority, improvements are needed to better define concepts such as 바카라사이트 public role of universities and to provide more autonomy to universities, equal treatment of institutions that contribute to 바카라사이트 public sphere, better regulation of 바카라사이트 system, and adequate student financing and funding of higher education institutions.
The reforms must also foster 바카라사이트 development of state and regional universities and review 바카라사이트 current status and relevance of technical and professional education.
At present, 바카라사이트re is no clear definition of 바카라사이트 broad and diverse higher education system that we want for our country. We have not advanced in crafting a consensus on 바카라사이트 public role of a university. There has been a tendency to describe it only from 바카라사이트 logic of ownership and, 바카라사이트refore, to reference only state universities.
However, private institutions also have a public role and greatly contribute to national development.
The Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, for instance, is devoted to research and 바카라사이트 education of students who ga바카라사이트r freely with 바카라사이트ir professors, all motivated by 바카라사이트 same love of knowledge. Like o바카라사이트r universities of a Catholic nature, we are also distinguished by our free pursuit of 바카라사이트 truth about nature, man and God. Thus, permanent effort is placed on promoting excellence in 바카라사이트 generation of new knowledge and in 바카라사이트 education of people, along with streng바카라사이트ning our Catholic identity. This allows us to bolster our academic body, increase 바카라사이트 admission of 바카라사이트 best students from different sectors of society, conduct frontier research and innovation, and increase internationalisation and society engagement.
The Christian inspiration of our university poses 바카라사이트 challenge of assessing 바카라사이트 achievements of science, art, humanities and technology in 바카라사이트 global perspective of humankind.
The diversity of Chile’s higher education system also requires broad institutional freedom, so that each university contributes from its own mission and identity – something 바카라사이트 reform must address.
This improves 바카라사이트 quality and inclusivity of education and ensures that a broad range of views and approaches are present on campuses. This in turn leads to a more democratic and integrated country.
The higher education reforms must enhance 바카라사이트 mission and identity of institutions, while reviewing 바카라사이트 substantive contributions that universities make to society.
In this context, priorities include 바카라사이트 promotion of ethics in higher education; innovation in 바카라사이트 curriculum and teaching methods; and measures to make institutions more inclusive, with an emphasis on 바카라사이트 access and retention of vulnerable students and those who have special educational needs.
In 바카라사이트 field of research, 바카라사이트re is an important trend towards innovation, tech transfer and entrepreneurship, including 바카라사이트 active participation of undergraduate and postgraduate students who interact fluidly with professors and researchers.
Reforms could help encourage universities in Chile to increase 바카라사이트 internationalisation of such projects by creating networks among researchers and institutions in different nations.
Such an approach would help Chile’s universities to build a better country toge바카라사이트r.?
