El derecho a la educación superior y el acceso de los venezolanos a la universidad pública ecuatoriana

Abstract

The Right to Higher Education is included in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, so each Member State has the obligation to guarantee the fulfillment of this right, so it is essential the correct application of the principle of equal opportunities so that all people, both nationals and foreigners can access this education. In addition, the importance of a correct access to a quality higher education arises since this is the one in charge of training professionals, favoring personal development, so that in this way they expand their capabilities to promote the progress of a country, such as the creation of projects that generate new jobs. The importance of the research topic lies in the fact that it is a current situation due to the large Venezuelan migration produced in the last 5 years to Ecuador in search of better living conditions, due to the situation in which their country of origin finds itself. The present work is within the research line of Public Policies, Law and Society proposed by the Technical University of Ambato, which will allow us to have a clear perspective of the Ecuadorian legal system regarding the opportunities for Venezuelan migrants to access higher education. Establishing that the State is a guarantor of rights, therefore it must protect the right of access to higher education for Venezuelan migrants
