A sustained work

Alberto Barbieri, president of the UBA since 2013 said: “we are in the elite of world education”. But he said that in his view these rankings “do not represent a real assessment of the real impact it has on society leading to a university.” But since “the world takes into account, it is very important.” Also recalled that this assessment is divided into two sections: “. One, international, and other Latin American In both we are getting better,” he said

The rector said that this “is a message to the authorities.” . Education “must be a priority of Argentines, whatever the government”. He added: “.. We come ascending in the ‘rankings’ and this indicates that implemented successful policies must support them and prevent wages of researchers and teachers deteriorate”

The Cambridge situation is not accidental and is part of a general decline in the houses of studies in Britain. Budget cuts and the crisis of ‘Brexit’ are the main reasons. Ben Sowter, head of research at QS, said that “storm clouds over higher education in the UK is looming. The uncertainty suffered by these institutions on funding for research and immigration rules, seems to be hurting, seriously, the reputation in the education sector “.

Meanwhile Nick Hillman, director of the British Institute of University Policies, he said:” we do not know where we’re going to leave positioned the ‘Brexit’, what we do know, is that we have a prime minister who despite having many strengths, has one weak and the university “
