GIMENEZ, A. M.. The challenge of higher education in forestry. Quebracho (Santiago del Estero) [online]. 2017, vol.25, n.2, pp.129-139. ISSN 0328-0543.
In recent decades, higher education systems in the world have faced a remarkable redefinition. Various qualitative and quantitative indicators were modified to give a new profile to the institutions conforming the educational level. Forestry education in Latin America is inextricably integrated to the management of renewable natural resources and their field of action. Nowadays it turns out to be broader than when the sector was understood within the traditional approach. To meet these demands, more trained human resources are necessary; these can be achieved through graduate studies. In Latin America, graduate studies in Forest Sciences require academic and scientific links. Institutions such as the FAO and the Mercosur seek alternatives for forestry education in the region by promoting assistance exchange and forestry teaching counseling among countries, promoting accreditation on the basis of a education of quality. From Argentina, the University Policies Secretariat (SPU) launches a program for the internatilization of Higher Education and International Cooperation aimed at maximizing the achievement of the opportunities offered by the educational and academic world at the national, regional and international levels. The FCF, UNSE is inserted in these programs through cooperation with Brazil, Chile and others.
