Educación superior y mercado laboral: vinculación y pertinencia social ¿Por qué? y ¿para qué? by Beatriz Olivia Camarena Gómez, Delisahé Velarde Hernández

“…En el ámbito internacional, los procesos de vinculación y pertinencia social entre universidad y mercado laboral no han sido muy halagüeños en las últimas décadas, principalmente en aquellos países que debido a sus deficiencias estructurales siguen centrando su política educativa en sólo elevar la matrícula y la eficiencia terminal. En el caso de México, a los problemas que de manera recurrente presenta el sistema educativo de nivel superior -deserción escolar, reprobación, baja eficiencia terminal, bajo rendimiento académico, cambios de carrera, entre otros-, se suman una deficiente calidad académica, desequilibrios en la composición de la matrícula por áreas del conocimiento y una excesiva concentración de la matrícula en pocas carreras con destinos laborales saturados, exacerbados todos ellos por la creciente demanda escolar de los últimos años. …”
