Incidencia del reglamento nacional de nivelación y admisión en el acceso a la educación superior en Ecuador

Abstract

The objective of this study was to assess the access to education in public Ecuadorian universities. A qualitative approach was performed that was documentary in nature. A dogmatic-legal method was employed using a documentary analysis as a technique for collecting information. This includes the constitutional right to education in terms of equal access, conditions, and opportunities. It also includes regulations related to the subject and doctrine. The results showed that there was violation of the right to access higher education in young high school graduates. This is since the admission process is governed by a single entry exam, which does not examine other student skills. For this reason, it is recommended to implement other strategies in the admission process in order to generate greater opportunities to access education.
