Revisión de los currículos universitarios en Venezuela: pertinencia y desafíos en el contexto actual

Abstract

In the field of university education in Venezuela, updating curricula is increasingly urgent. Many curricula are outdated, limiting students' ability to meet current labor challenges. The article highlights the importance of reviewing curricula every five years, as established by the University Law, to align them with the needs of the labor market and the priorities of the Plan de la Patria 2019-2025. It is suggested that the curriculum be a dynamic social construction, incorporating perspectives of educators, students, and the community. The results show a significant mismatch between academic training and labor demands, highlighting the need for constant dialogue between those involved. The curricular review seeks to adapt content and promote inclusive education that prepares students for the 21st century. Educational quality depends on the internal coherence of the curriculum, ensuring that students are well prepared to contribute effectively in the world of work.
