Vulneración de los derechos de los jóvenes durante el proceso de admisión en la educación superior en el Ecuador

Abstract

Abstract:In Ecuador, access to higher education is in charge of the National Leveling and Admission System (SNNA), which establishes that admission will be based on an exam that will evaluate the knowledge of the applicants and the availability of the Institutions of Higher Education. However, there is evidence of a decrease in the university enrollment rate, which multiple authors attribute to the violation of the rights of students that limits universal access. As such, this research work has the purpose of analyzing the violation of rights of young people in the admission process to higher education. For this, a type of research is carried out with a qualitative and quantitative approach, using the legal and bibliographic dogmatic method and conducting surveys of young people who entered the university through the SNNA system and interviews with lawyers on the research topic The results showed that there is a violation of rights in the process of assigning places, because it forces students to choose five careers, who very seldom obtain a place in the first option, violating the right to free choice of career, to equal opportunities and universal access.
