University and Science | Letters to the editor | Opinion

There is an acute crisis in alma mater. Getting a college degree becomes a traditional way to gain a place in front of the family and the community.

The crisis of the university is due to a lack of science, because there is no academy in Ecuador, there are clones of peninsulas, and models, copied from other countries and poorly detailed here (Sineskett Experience, SEHESI), so that their independence is hampered; Because there is no pretense to discover the contributions that come from laws and theories that respond to the problems of society. We add to this a giant who intends to interfere, to organize, to the university, and to fall into the political addiction of debts and favors among the gamonales, for it does not matter that the teacher is a subject decontextualized without the production of scientific material (and if it produces not all of them are worth reading more than the weekly. Bypass teachers who may have scientific knowledge, but bureaucrats, technocrats, and politicians on duty who do desk education are covered up. Hence the result: anyone who manages to graduate as a teacher, on the pretext of inclusion and accessibility, anyone can graduate easily, as if relying on race, marital status, or race; and after he finishes his studies if he does not devote himself to something other than his profession, he ends up as a devoted bureaucrat or renders “favors” to the politicians he has agreed to work with. And that I have not spoken of the problem of negotiating with the degree thesis.(or)
