Higher Education in El Salvador: Pertinence and Education for Entrepreneurship

Abstract

Abstract:The training of human resources is crucial for the economic and social development of territories that are striving to become knowledge-based economies. Although the number of student enrolments in El Salvador has increased in recent years, some elements of the higher education system have hindered the country's development from this approach. El Salvador's population is generally poorly qualified and particularly poorly specialized. In addition, El Salvador has a low-quality higher education system, which employs poorly qualified teaching staff with outdated methods and syllabuses. The lack of pertinence of the higher education system in El Salvador is reflected in the conflict between the country's education and labour systems. This conflict has especially negative effects on younger generations' social mobility. To remedy this situation, this research presents proposals to improve the higher education system's pertinence and to implement a compulsory entrepreneurship education module across all areas of higher education.

Collective-Political Creativity Around the World: A Relay Interview

“…From the SD and SOD, this diversity is expressed not only in different socioeconomic situations, locations, work and personal relationships, natural and built environments but also and above all, in the backgrounds, experiences, perceptions, expectations, and interactions of people that inhabit it (Mulgan, 2014). This entails complexity because it not only considers the individual as something isolated in the territory but also the relationships that this individual has with other agents, forming an ecosystem (Pinazo-Dallenbach & Tutistar-Rosero, 2020). Then, it is vital that when a decision-making process is approached for the TPI design, the ecosystem's actors -inhabitants of the territory, local government, ministry functionaries from the central government, and the research team -manage to share the diagnosis and the prospective (Godet, 2007).…”
