In order to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the higher education system and generate proposals that empower educational policies, the National Council of Universities was held in Caracas, which was headed by the Minister for University Education, Ricardo Sánchez.

In this activity, as reported by Venezolana de Televisión (VTV), the rectors of 92 study houses participated, both in person and online. Also present was the sector vice-president of Science, Technology, Education and Health, Gabriela Jiménez.

“The purpose is to meet the planning for 2025, such as what has to do with a national symposium on multimodality public policies, specifically to validate the capacities, in that sense, that universities have for opportunities in terms of improvements. In this way, we are satisfied with this closing of 2024,” said Sánchez.

He also indicated that one of the main issues is to raise academic quality. In turn, he pointed out that another aspect to be addressed is the link between the productive sectors and the labor market, as well as validating training capacities with the Simón Bolívar National Development Plan convened by the president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro.

For his part, the rector of the Central University of Venezuela (UCV), Víctor Rago, thanked this forum because the country's different universities and authorities share opportunities to examine the functioning of the education system to promote initiatives that contribute to enriching training.

The rector of the Antonio José de Sucre National Experimental Polytechnic University (Unexpo), Rita Añez, said that “as a university professor and rector, we are proud of what we are doing in the country, contributing to the best human talent, but above all, most importantly, that we are fulfilling our national duty to be able to generate knowledge, generate technological independence,” she added.
