Abstract
This article describes the application of the Higher Education Multiple Contributions Fund for the Technological and Polytechnic Universities in Mexico from 2000 to 2018. This information was obtained from the Ministry of Public Education and from the General Office of Technological and Polytechnic Universities. The variables for this analysis were: the federal resource investments on physical infrastructure conducted for each fiscal year for the aforementioned period, and the evolution of enrolled students. A quantitative method was used, non-experimental, transactional, descriptive. The analysis universe was 179 universities from the technological and polytechnic universities. There was a comparison conducted of the resources invested in the Multiple Contributions Fund on infrastructure and the yearly enrolled students in the subsystem. Based on this information, this paper describes if there is a relationship between the increase of students enrolled and the authorization of federal resources for the Higher Education Multiple Contributions Fund. The results obtained in the years from 2000 to 2018 were taken into consideration where the number of students enrolled in universities increased by 851%, and the cost per student invested in the fund decreased -88.04%. Results indicate that there is no relationship between the application of investment in education infrastructure and the evolution of enrolled students.
Highlights
The purpose of this review is to describe the investment of federal resources in the universities of the Technological and Polytechnic University Subsystem (CGUTyP) in Mexico, and its relation with the growth in the number of enrolled students in those technological and polytechnic institutions from 2000 to 2018.The global economic competition in which Mexico is involved, requires that students enrolled in technological and polytechnic universities have specialized work competencies in order to be immersed in the work market (Schwab, 2016)
From the information obtained through the interpretation of results, taking as reference the 2000-2018 period, related to the annual resources assigned to the Fund Program (FAM) in the CGUTyP, we observed that the annual investment has not increased in the number of projects
Mexico is a member of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, and in spite of having signed the 2030 Agenda, the Ministry of Public Education did not align with the objectives of striving for an adequate physical infrastructure as well as education services that are inclusive and adequate for university students in this subsystem
Summary
The purpose of this review is to describe the investment of federal resources in the universities of the Technological and Polytechnic University Subsystem (CGUTyP) in Mexico, and its relation with the growth in the number of enrolled students in those technological and polytechnic institutions from 2000 to 2018.The global economic competition in which Mexico is involved, requires that students enrolled in technological and polytechnic universities have specialized work competencies in order to be immersed in the work market (Schwab, 2016). The purpose of this review is to describe the investment of federal resources in the universities of the Technological and Polytechnic University Subsystem (CGUTyP) in Mexico, and its relation with the growth in the number of enrolled students in those technological and polytechnic institutions from 2000 to 2018. The rapid growth in the number of enrolled students in the technological and polytechnic universities in Mexico, together with the lack of state and federal public investment in academic facilities has caused a lack of facilities and equipment that are so necessary in order to be able to offer top notch higher education regarding the competency based education model. The source population are the higher education institutions of the Technological and Polytechnic University Subsystem (CGUTyP) in Mexico, based on information from 2000 to 2018.
