University Development
If you insist on it own and contemporary, the University is useless, because it is expanding a function that already complies with the development of the University Press and in general school is closely linked to the development of peoples to the extent that it contributes to the formation of citizens able to discover knowledge, transform it, and build scenarios conducive to free thought and the exercise of activities aimed to achieve technological development and scientific, with which begin to create the conditions to improve the quality of life for one increasing number of people. It is for this reason (and also others) by which higher education must have a valid, permanent and effective channels of communication with society to know their aspirations, wishes and needs and provide appropriate solutions to give a timely response in line with their social obligations. In some Latin American countries is observed with concern the fact that educational institutions are on one side; the productive apparatus on the other and the society, in turn, by a path other than the previous ones. The result: a stagnation in certain sectors, the lack of relevance of the academic programs offered and the frustration of graduates who are exposed to critical and painful situation not to apply the knowledge acquired or apply their profession simply because the companies do not require their services.
So things records the frequent case of a loss of resources by State and part of the University and the alteration of the life project by the family and the individual, who had relied on the education their chances of finding a future worthy of their efforts and their dreams. The above forces to rethink all what has been done so far in the field of education and, especially, higher education, since it is necessary to respond to some questions with which students are concerned, the newly graduates, managers of companies, the parents and, in general, society: is being formed to the professionals that the country needs? Is it worth investing time, money and encouragement to study a university career if, at the end, the knowledge acquired shall not apply? What guarantees of employment have new employees? How is can it help graduates who in a relatively long time still without inserted into the labour market? These questions may not respond lightly but it is necessary to act promptly to prevent that the University still divorced from the events of its social, political, human and economic environment. It is unavoidable to redefine the curriculum and future professionals profiles in order to meet the expectation of a region, a country and a continent committed to the idea of finding once by all routes that they carried their full development.
