Abstract

We believe that updated and high quality teaching and research should be introduced to Chile students, preferably from the very beginning of their academic studies so as to educate and motivate them to consider both creation and innovation in both social sciences and new technologies in their academic and professional careers. It is should then be advisable and mandatory that Higher Education Institutions in the country hire, in full time positions academic staff of the best possible quality (M.Sc. PhD and/or well known practitioners in their fields). Our experience indicates that the Chile that much of the work done at different levels of the students’ education is obsolete and therefore we are convinced that many Chilean professionals are not quite prepared to face the many challenges related to the fourth technological revolution, in due course in developed countries. We have, therefore in the current article, focused our attention upon a number of evaluation indicators so as to take action in due time and to improve and/or modify some components of the current models (indeed, new curricula should be worked out based upon the right assessment). The current article is devoted to analyze thoroughly, many changes in due course in our country, and aims to improve the standards of education of our fellow citizens. Chile is a small country and its population is about 16.5 million people. There is agreement, which suggests to us that many well-known structural obstacles must be modified and/or removed in order to overcome a number of both failures and weaknesses observed in our processes. Besides, the assessments executed by both national and international studies, reinforce strongly our overall believe that the current situation of the education system in Chile is inadequate when compared with those standards required to be able to become worldwide competitive. We believe that our accreditation processes should be reviewed and many structural changes must be enforced to achieve those goals.
