OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Currently, the Uruguayan Parliament is discussing the draft "Accountability and Budget Execution Balance" corresponding to the 2021 fiscal year.
Assuming a favorable economic climate for the country, a series of future adjustments are outlined. Among them, the University of the Republic (UdelaR) is the only public institution that presents a decrease in its permanent budget.
This fact constitutes a reaction threat al future de la UdelaR in the country, an institution that has maintained record student enrollment (especially during the pandemic) and concentrates more than 90% of scientific research at the national level.
The Latin American Council of Social Sciences expresses its deep concern about this fact which, if confirmed, leads to a worsening of the conditions of study and work in public higher education in Uruguay.
