Regarding the Budget, the Executive Vice President of the Council, Rector Juan Manuel Zolezzi, reported on the dialogue process that took place between the institutions and with Parliament, which culminated in the increase of the allocation for universities.
Regarding the PSU (University Selection Test), he indicated that 283,000 students will take the test this year. As previously announced, this version of the test will not penalize incorrect answers and will include content aligned with the secondary education curriculum reform implemented by the Ministry of Education.
