The meeting included the participation of Alberto Mayol, sociologist and academic from the University of Chile, who conducted an analysis of the significance and legacy of the student movement and the work carried out by the rectors in the educational debate.
In a monthly plenary session held at the Austral University of Chile in Valdivia, the 25 rectors of public universities took stock of the work carried out in 2011 by the Council of Rectors and reviewed the bills on Higher Education that are currently being worked on in Congress.
“We were talking about the bills that are in Parliament, we also had a presentation on the issues of the loan with State guarantee, the renegotiation of the Solidarity Fund, the issue of the Superintendency and on issues specific to the Council of Rectors, our meetings with Confech, and the work towards the future and our challenges,” detailed Rector Zolezzi, Executive Vice President of the Council of Rectors.
The meeting began with a presentation by the distinguished sociologist and professor at the University of Chile, Alberto Mayol, who analyzed the significance and legacy of the student movement and the work carried out by the rectors in the educational debate. “We believe it is very important that, as university authorities, we have an external and critical perspective on what the student movement meant,” Rector Zolezzi emphasized.
In the plenary session, the rectors agreed that next Wednesday the 25th they will meet with the students to finalize and work on a common agenda for 2012.
