Hacia la transformación de la educación universitaria venezolana periodo 1999 – 2019

Abstract

The university transformation that the country needed began with the approval of the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (CRBV), and the refoundation of the State, framed in the collective construction of a democratic, participatory and leading, multiethnic and pluricultural society; based on the values ​​of freedom, independence, peace, solidarity, common good, territorial integrity, coexistence and the right to life, work, culture, education, social justice and equality without discrimination or any subordination . To achieve these guidelines, educational institutions were created characterized by free expression, the debate of sovereign and anti-imperialist ideas and principles, promoting links with the social and productive life of the community and the country. However, in 2008, the need to direct an emancipatory and decolonizing university education of thought was visualized, promoting activities and actions oriented to the economic area, in the search of achieving the Bolivarian dream of achieving the greatest amount of happiness possible, greater sum of social security and greater sum of political stability, with the levers of knowledge and work, however these transformations were only oriented to respond to the needs of national and international capitalist and imperial interests, North American and Eurocentric, leaving behind political and ideological instruction for the emancipatory and decolonized transformation in the Venezuelan University Education Institutes.
