Latin America expanded university access but left academics in precarious jobs, study warns
Original: A new study warns that Latin America has democratised higher education but has made teaching conditions more precarious
A new study by UNESCO IESALC warns that while higher education in Latin America has become far more accessible, this expansion has come at a cost for academic staff. The report says the democratisation of universities has been accompanied by increasingly precarious teaching conditions, with more unstable contracts and weakened employment protections across the region.
Why now: The findings highlight tensions between wider university access and job security for academics, prompting debate among educators and policymakers.
