At the beginning of July the Institutional Equity Observatory was inaugurated at the Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco University, in Villahermosa (Mexico), which will be linked to the Regional Observatory for the Equity Quality in Higher Education (ORACLE), based in UDELAS (Panama).
The ORACLE project, funded within the framework of the EU Erasmus+ program, aims to be a space for the exchange of experiences, the preparation of studies and the proposal of lines of action focused on improving inclusion and equity in the institutions of higher education in Latin America. The analysis focuses on the students, the administration and services staff, and the faculty that is part of the institutions analyzed.
To finalize the event, Dr. Gairín, co-coordinator of the project, gave the conference "Quality and Equity in Higher Education: Challenges and Alternatives" in which he highlighted the importance of improving quality levels, increasing access to studies higher, but above all guarantee equity and social justice, at all levels, among all those groups that form part of the university community.
In its initial phase, the project is composed of 30 institutions in Latin America, and 5 European universities participate as partners, one of them the Autonomous University of Barcelona. On behalf of the UAB, Dr. Joaquín Gairín, Dean of the Faculty of Educational Sciences, attended the inauguration.
