Abstract
The Higher Education system in Ecuador has undergone significant transformations in recent years, driven by certain political reforms, the factors that have affected it are the use of advanced technologies and a focus on inclusion and diversity. This article analyzes these changes and their impact on the country's educational institutions. It is based on the Organic Law of Higher Education (LOES) of 2010 which has been crucial to improve the quality and accessibility of education, resulting in a 20% increase in university enrollment. In addition, universities are adapting their academic programs and curriculum designs to align with the needs of the labor market, collaborating closely with industry to develop relevant skills. The incorporation of online learning platforms, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has allowed for greater flexibility and accessibility, adopting hybrid models that combine face-to-face and online learning. Inclusion and diversity policies have been effective in increasing the representation of underrepresented groups, although challenges related to inequality and funding persist. Emphasis on research and collaboration with international institutions is positioning Ecuadorian universities in the global academic arena, fostering scientific and technological development. These efforts, together with the adoption of educational technologies and inclusive policies, indicate that the higher education system in Ecuador is undergoing a significant transformation process, preparing to face future challenges with a solid foundation in reform, inclusion, and technology.
