Reforma Universitaria

Reforma Universitaria, or University Reform, refers to a movement that began in the early 20th century, primarily in Latin America, aimed at transforming higher education. It emerged from student protests advocating for academic freedom, democratic governance, and greater accessibility to education. Key principles include the autonomy of universities, the need for research and social responsibility, and the involvement of students in university decision-making. This movement significantly impacted educational policies and practices, promoting more inclusive and innovative approaches to university education, ultimately influencing social and cultural development in the region.
