| 總結: | The challenges facing Higher Education in Latin America and the Caribbean have become increasingly diverse and significant in recent decades. Educational conflicts, particularly in Higher Education, have garnered substantial attention in the mobilizations and political debates across various countries in the region, with Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico standing out for the scale and persistence of these issues. Key dimensions of contention include financing, accessibility, quality, governance structures, working conditions for educators, the non-commercialization of education, and the promotion of free education. Students have frequently spearheaded these movements, organizing through collectives, organizations, and movements, sometimes alongside faculty and staff, engaging in street protests, occupying public buildings, and other collective actions.This paper synthesizes qualitative research conducted over the past five years, drawing on interviews, document analysis, press articles, and relevant literature to examine the main challenges, problems, and future perspectives of Higher Education in Latin America and the Caribbean. It focuses particularly on two pivotal initiatives launched by the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO): the Latin American University Evaluation System (SILEU) and the Latin American Forum for Scientific Evaluation (FOLEC). These initiatives aim to innovate and address critical issues within the region's higher education landscape, offering new frameworks for evaluation and advancement amidst ongoing challenges. |
