PAZMINO MOSCOSO, Sandra Patricia. ANÁLISIS DEL SISTEMA DE EDUCACIÓN SUPERIOR EN ECUADOR DESDE EL 2000 HASTA LA ACTUALIDAD: OLAS, CIERRE Y CALIDAD. Rev. Esc. Cienc. Educ. [online]. 2018, vol.2, n.13, pp.53-68. ISSN 1851-6297.

It explores the constellation of stimuli and interests that made possible the creation, without proper planning or quality controls, of an unprecedented amount of universities during the 1990s and early 2000s. Then, the political and legal process that allowed the purging of high quality institutions of higher education: from the Constituent Mandate No. 14 in 2008 to the final resolution of the Evaluation Council Accreditation and Quality Assurance of Higher Education (CEAACES) in 2012. Ecuador as a consequence of the Constitution approved in October 2008 has initiated a new process of institutionalization, where the most relevant action is the issuance of the Higher Education Law two years later in 2010. The purposes of the national education system are no more than the development of individual and collective potential, in an environment of learning and generation of knowledge and culture (Bourdieu, 1993). Currently, society is going through constant changes within which education is not left aside, being necessary the reform of knowledge that adapts to practicality from the classroom as a starting point. Quality assurance processes go beyond simply representing an institutional mechanism, they express the power of transformation that the law has when it is tuned to the collective benefit but not with interests that involve conflicts of power and profit.
