Movimiento de Reforma Universitaria

The Movimiento de Reforma Universitaria refers to a series of student-led initiatives in Latin America, particularly Argentina, during the early 20th century, aimed at modernizing university education. It sought democratic governance within universities, greater academic freedom, and social relevance in curricula, addressing issues like authoritarianism and elitism. The movement empowered students and faculty to participate in decision-making processes and emphasized the importance of research and critical thinking. It significantly influenced university reforms across Latin America, promoting a more inclusive, participatory, and socially engaged higher education system.
