That within the framework of higher education as a public service, universities and polytechnic schools of Ecuador must generate educational experiences that promote critical thinking, human rights, citizenship and gender equity, the fight against poverty and inequality in pursuit of social justice, therefore, it is an obligation of all university institutions to demand the Ecuadorian government a greater investment in education as the only way for generating prosperity.
UPS president, Javier Herran, spoke about the reality of higher education and stated: "searching for the truth in the university is called research, so it is a great step for officials to start using the word research not only in laboratories or in technology, but in their own reality, in their own relationships."
The president of Universidad Católica de Cuenca, Enrique Pozo, highlighted the signing of the declaration because it will be possible to clearly know what Ecuadorian universities need and aspire to, sending a clear message to authorities so they can invest in higher education, because that investment turns into research, community engagement, creation of projects and ventures ".
