The new dynamics force the education sector to rethink objectives, goals and commitments. This is what the expert in transforming the educational ecosystem in Latin America considers Fernando Valenzuela, who warned that Universities need to change their reason for being and ally themselves with technology. “There are digital platforms with millions of online students, which shows that being in classrooms is no longer a necessity. However, the physical space cannot cling to being just a classroom.

An example of this evolution is the College of Higher Studies in Administration (CESA) that, in its interest to be at the forefront and guarantee relevance and sustainabilitya year ago began a process of profound transformation that coincides with the commemoration of its first 50 years of history. Emilia Restrepo, rector of the institution, emphasized that major global trends such as the technological boom, demographic decline, changes in the skills required in the labor market, among others, prompted them to evolve to strengthen their essence and create new and better forms of education that promote, facilitate and enrich learning.
In this purpose, This year, the institution unveiled L³UNA, “a learning system powered by AIwith which personalized training routes are created that evolve with the needs of each student, at different moments in life,” Restrepo said.
A revolutionary aspect is its homologation system, which recognizes microcredentials obtained as academic credits within the formal CESA programs. This gives students unprecedented flexibility to customize their education, and ensures that every achievement has tangible value in their career.
