"Universities are in a critical situation ... do not have money, they can select their students ... "
" About half of young people entering the University does not have the minimum necessary, need to be taught even to read and write ... "
" The problem is the lack of selection at the beginning ... The law stipulates that every young person who approves your matriculation certificate is entitled to continue their studies and enter university without entrance examination ... "
" Direct access is defended as the only guarantee of democratization of higher education. .. resulting in a great hypocrisy, because the selection will be imposed later the reality ... Other higher education institutions themselves select their students are the true elite. "
" Today is allowed a growing number young people without giving them real opportunities for success ... It is great that there are more and more college, provided they are received and that the diploma to get them to find a job ... "
" It's wrong to take as an indicator of the nation's educational number of students entering the universities ... It is not the quantity but the quality that should be taken into account ... The educational level of a country should be measured by two indicators: the number of students who find a job out of college, and GDP growth. "
" If China and India are developing fast, is because they have inverted in universities and because they practice a strong selection, which encourages students to do their best ... "
" The key word in the development of a country is a 'requirement' ... if in regions such as Africa or Latin America there are many problems and development is not what you wanted, it is because lack just that requirement. "
" The University can not help solve the problems of integration, discrimination, etc.., is this fight must begin in primary school ... is in elementary school where they taught the basics of what it means to live in this country, and teach the meritocracy, as la meritocracia es la base de la democracia .”
“Mantener esta situación [la de prácticamente regalar los diplomas de primaria, secundaria y preparatoria, y la de garantizar el acceso directo a las universidades] es pura demagogia, pura ilusión [dizque] democrática de que todos tienen acceso a la universidad.”
“Se está mintiendo a los jóvenes, porque no hay capacidad ni financiera ni material para ocuparse de ellos. Para eso hay que aumentar los derechos de inscripción [académicos y económicos, y sólo] dar becas a los que las merecen, porque el Estado no puede asumir todo.”
“En my country we like to make the revolution, simply check our history ... This is a country that hates the reforms and believes that democracy is a summary of the division between left and right ... "
" But a mature society faces reforms, knows that there are sectors that need them and stop simply categorize them as left or right ... The state of our University reflects the state of the country and is very worrying when compared with the way in which China and India take their own destiny in their hands ... This is politically incorrect to address these issues, is part of our taboos. "
" Politicians are afraid of students and universities. When trying to reform a bit, there are mass demonstrations immediately ... To the right will be very difficult to make the necessary reforms ... The left, marked by ideas close to Marxism and egalitarianism, has no vocation to carry them out. "
The above statements, which could have been made in Mexico by a Mexican smart, actually belong to the author of the book Jeunes, on vous ment (Young, they are lying) , Jean-Robert Pitte, who is neither more nor less than the President of the University of Paris - Sorbonne. At least, reflect an awareness of the situation that even remotely are showing the declarations and acts of the rector of UNAM, much more concerned in making AMLO wins in improving the quality of their university education, which for him is "excellent, the best in Latin America and one of the best in the world ... pride. " Good God.
Because, as I have said all along, to be frank it does not take French.
