Abstract

Getting to be a competitive economy depends heavily on addressing one of the most pressing weaknesses of our country: the strengthening of education, which is a pillar in the subscripts of the global criteria of competitiveness. The work of universities is central to the creation of programs aimed at improving the quality of educational programs, making them more competitive, while helping communities solve their problems. The link to the marginalized areas allows the drive to improve the quality of life for its inhabitants.
