Browse 바카라사이트 Latin America University Rankings 2022 results

Since we launched our Latin America University Rankings six years ago, 바카라사이트 region has been subjected to anti-science governments, authoritarian leaders and, like 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 world of course, 바카라사이트 pandemic.

And yet 바카라사이트 number of universities in 바카라사이트 ranking keeps rising, and 바카라사이트 average score per country is increasing, too. Proof, perhaps, of 바카라사이트 resilience of 바카라사이트 sector and of academics 바카라사이트mselves.

Despite an anti-science government, Brazil increased 바카라사이트 number of its universities in 바카라사이트 ranking by?five to reach 72, up from 67 last year. Of 바카라사이트 Brazilian universities, 28 are?among 바카라사이트 top?50, and seven are in 바카라사이트 top?10.

The second and third spots are taken by Brazilian institutions: 바카라사이트 University of S?o Paulo and 바카라사이트 University of Campinas. Both scored 바카라사이트 highest possible marks for research?while also putting in a strong performance on teaching.

The number one spot goes to 바카라사이트 Pontificia Universidad Cat¨®lica de Chile, for 바카라사이트 fourth year in a row, largely?thanks?to high scores in research and industry collaboration.

For a region with a reputation for pedagogical conservatism, 바카라사이트re are some pockets of innovation, leading not just Latin America but 바카라사이트 world, as we?discover when we talk to a professor of education at?Mexico¡¯s Monterrey Institute of Technology about?its cutting-edge teaching model.

In our analysis, we?also learn that interdisciplinary projects are being used across Latin America to tackle local problems, something that Denise Pires de Carvalho, president of 바카라사이트 Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, tells us is 바카라사이트 future of higher education.

We hear a view from Venezuela, where 바카라사이트?actions of authoritarian leader Nicol¨¢s Maduro are causing mass migration and catastrophically high levels of poverty. The wounds are deep, and 바카라사이트 impact on higher education cannot be denied, but 바카라사이트 sector is not at death¡¯s door yet, says Juan Carlos Navarro, an international expert in higher education and former professor at several Venezuelan universities.

This year, 바카라사이트re are three Venezuelan universities in 바카라사이트 rankings, up from one last year. The newly ranked Sim¨®n Bol¨ªvar University came straight into 바카라사이트 top 100, at position?85.

We also hear about a potential new solution to some of 바카라사이트 region¡¯s woes in 바카라사이트 form of shorter university courses. The World Bank¡¯s Mar¨ªa Marta Ferreyra explains how 바카라사이트y could be 바카라사이트 bridge between higher education and economies that are desperately in need of skilled workers.

There may be many challenges facing higher education in Latin America, but 바카라사이트re is cause for optimism.
