The university system of a country plays a fundamental role in the training of highly competitive professionals at an international level. Its function is based on three main pillars: instructional training, research and social responsibility. 1.University education must be of high quality, adapted to the needs of the current and future labor market. This requires competent teachers, relevant curricula and the use of modern technologies, such as digital tools and artificial intelligence (AI), in pedagogical processes. 2.The university is a fundamental engine for the economic development of a region, acting as a center for the generation and dissemination of scientific knowledge and technological transfer. For this, the support of the State is vital, which must encourage research with policies and budget. 3.The third pillar is social responsibility, which implies the university's contribution to the well-being of its environment and the sustainability of the environment and finally, to be competitive, universities must manage their processes with excellence, offering a differentiated academic offer.
