Social reality and higher education

Abstract

The country is characterized by extreme and relative poverty that together make up a majority of the population with essential deficiencies for a daily life, without being able to satisfy the genuine aspirations that make up the minimum profile of quality of life, as they are associated with the basic human needs. For quality of life, in the context of a duty to be, it is conceived as access to minimum levels of health, education, housing, nutrition, work and protection against calamities.
The quality of life is also associated with freedom, a basic effective consumption and the real possibility of enhancing their human condition. This poverty incapacitates people to participate in economic, cultural and political life; with material deprivations, lack of civil and political rights that guarantee their citizen participation and ignorance of the identities and particularities of gender, ethnicity, religion or preference for social groups.
