The National Universities require new AutoPro More Proactive

The stagnation of many national public universities and private yet manifested in the absence of renovating authorities, authorities remain backed by powerful groups, which in the case of Venezuelan universities have been running these for years, on the basis of traditionalism had taken place with political parties COPEI and Democratic Action, who gave way, precisely those groups that have been anchored and have hurt along the smooth running of the Universities, the achievement of academic excellence, participation in pro- professionals make to the country consonant with the requirements that the present application.

For many years the universities with some exceptions in some authorities have played the role that the country needs to address their problems, make way for new openings that benefit. There are many authorities who used their political commitments choice, friendship, family, all in favor particular and the university community rather play a figurative role than proactive. Evidence of this is the result of this, where the national universities, in some professions, careers, as we are concerned, engineering, administration, economy, education has deteriorated significantly, training of professionals who graduate today.

He paid little attention to the development of research, its links with industry, the integration with the economic programs, production of the state itself to the solution of production problems, economic problems that may arise. Added to all this is the absence of a commitment to define the professional profile of its kind the country needs. Many of the skills that are provided do not correspond to the reality of this. Knowledge that are steeped in the past, not sued, or require new teachers, who are required to properly assist in the development of the country.

This shows a lack of authority in all core academic hierarchies, administrative, secretarial and more representative of a registry can make way for the transformation, change, to know not only meet the challenges currently presented but to originate new projects, strategies, planning to ensure good educational management.

There are national universities where principals have held the office twice, where the family was embedded, ie, husband and wife have been and are principals in addition to maintaining the same equipment for power, not observing the necessary changes that feed back into the best functionality of the university, which give way to a new university leadership capable of generating the required changes, more in a current political, economic, turbulent, risky as that facing, and a competitive favorable skills required to benefit the country. A scenario that requires well-trained professionals, graduates with the academic knowledge guaranteed that the present claims.

National universities again this year the authorities to choose the university community present in the different plates that have been re-structured and where the same pictures appear in power, changing only the charges, ie, something that demonstrates the absence of a spirit of renewal changes, new commitments to give hope that the university generates the necessary transformations of the shadows to rescue her academic excellence and research.

We are greatly concerned that the same applicants, some cloistered for years and its representative at the principal offices of the university, have not even programs, plans of what will be its management, its commitment to the rescue of the university, the new role it should play to the institution of a government that has declared a Socialist and has already begun its strategies, actions for the country to adapt to this new ideology.

We still remain concerned that the lack of university leaders, authorities renewed their interest in demonstrating rescue the passivity of the university to the serious problems the country faces.

There is no sign that these new candidates, who already know many university and assessed their role, not to showcase their programs, which ensure the real changes that universities in this need from their scholarship, renewal professional profiles, research, academic teachers secured, educational, creative, innovative, give way to a new paradigm of education that Venezuela needs.

There is no sign of changes in traditional management systems that keep many universities, where the bureaucracy has always been rooted impairing its functionality, operability, especially now when the current required by the Knowledge Society the use of new tools that help streamline and interenet processes to manage information and minimize costs known.

There are programs, proposals for how the new authorities take full advantage of the human capital of participants, the community for the benefit of all.

The deficiency of the administrative systems of many universities, it should also be kept in a structure anchored to the flexibility Consona not present, for this, the new authorities should disclose changes in the structure plan to conduct in order to that is more flexible, offset the bureaucracy, increase efficiency and to support their operations.

Many other aspects should consider the new authorities in favor of ensuring that change, national universities ransom demand, as links with the state enterprise system, other national and international educational institutions, research proposals to provide solutions to major problems that the country demand, publications, advisory, consultancy, effective use of Internet, on-line courses, among others.

Choosing universities follow the same pictures and allowing traditional authorities are doomed to being wrapped in the shadows, losing this opportunity offered in support of giving way to the transformations that rescue their academic excellence and to the formation professionals capable of making the country faces stagnation disappear

It is time for the participants themselves, the university community, wake up, pick new candidates with committed leadership, innovative, strategic, creative.

We hope that this time this is achieved in order to make way for a new transformation of the Venezuelan superiro education
