The Council of Rectors received a visit from presidential candidate Michelle Bachelet, who spoke about the country's challenges in higher education and her proposals on the matter.
This meeting is part of a series of dialogues that CRUCH will hold with the presidential candidates.
The challenges and proposals in higher education were the topics of conversation in the meeting between the representatives of the universities of the Council of Rectors and the presidential candidate Michelle Bachelet.
At the meeting, CRUCH Executive Vice President Juan Manuel Zolezzi discussed the issues of concern to the Council's member institutions for the coming period. These included the need for distinct institutional frameworks for education, science, and technology; the strengthening of regional higher education; and the challenges of teacher training.
Meanwhile, the presidential candidate reiterated her commitment to making education free, as well as the need for public universities in the O'Higgins and Aysén regions. She also stated that if elected, "education will be a priority," and therefore asked university rectors to continue debating and discussing the challenges and reforms that are needed.
This meeting is part of CRUCH's intention to meet with presidential candidates in order to discuss and share views on the country's challenges in higher education.
