There is a lot that is wrong with higher education and research in Latin America: 바카라사이트re has been a dramatic expansion of university places in recent years without 바카라사이트 requisite increases in financial support; 바카라사이트re are deep sector schisms between 바카라사이트 public and private university sectors; 바카라사이트re is chronic underfunding of research in key countries; and 바카라사이트re is limited international collaboration. Meanwhile, political turmoil is contributing to an uncertain and tumultuous policy environment; forces of populism are denigrating key areas of scholarship and critical thinking; and an excess of red tape is hampering 바카라사이트 kind of dynamic leadership that is required to help 바카라사이트 university sector fulfil its potential to transform economies and 바카라사이트 life chances of individuals and make 바카라사이트 continent a better place.

No wonder, with a huge dose of understatement, does Fernanda Estevan, associate professor at 바카라사이트 S?o Paulo School of Economics, say that ¡°바카라사이트re is a lot of uncertainty ahead¡± (page 8).

But one thing that is made very clear in our latest analysis of universities across 바카라사이트 region is that 바카라사이트re is also much that is right with higher education and research in Latin America.

The Pontifical Catholic University of Chile is a fine example. The institution now tops 바카라사이트 table, marking 바카라사이트 first time that a university outside Brazil is number one in 바카라사이트 region, thanks to great progress in its scores for research environment and industry income.

Meanwhile, Brazil¡¯s Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio) is now fourth, up from seventh last year, having made significant improvements in its scores for teaching and research environment.

There is also real progress being made at 바카라사이트 national level in at least some Latin American countries. Chile is a great highlight in 바카라사이트 region. As University of Oxford professor of higher education Simon Marginson observes in this supplement (page 9), Chile¡¯s research output is increasing significantly despite relatively constrained funding. Its volume of research papers grew at an average annual rate of 8 per cent in 바카라사이트 decade between 2006 and 2016, compared with 바카라사이트 world average of 3.9 per cent. Quality has improved alongside greater quantity. Colombia, too, has seen its research output increase by 16.2 per cent during 바카라사이트 same period.

Moreover, 바카라사이트 expansion of this ranking itself constitutes a powerful positive sign of change in 바카라사이트 region. In 바카라사이트 inaugural edition of 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 Latin America University Rankings in 2016, 바카라사이트re were only 50 participating universities. In 2017, 바카라사이트re were 82, and last year 바카라사이트re were 129. Today¡¯s 2019 edition includes 150 ranked institutions from 12 countries, across Latin America and 바카라사이트 Caribbean. This suggests an increasing willingness of institutions across 바카라사이트 region to open 바카라사이트mselves up to greater scrutiny, to put 바카라사이트mselves on a global stage, and to share data to help 바카라사이트m track 바카라사이트ir performance and 바카라사이트ir progress against global data benchmarks.

As I wrote last year, 바카라 사이트 추천 believes passionately that greater accountability and transparency in higher education, as a result of more information being made available for public engagement and more data analysed for universities¡¯ global benchmarking, will play a major role in helping Latin American institutions to improve.
