Post # 9: Improving your faculty facilities.

In my faculty, the Government School of the Universidad de Chile we have a very particular situation. Our building is a national monument, with a lot of history, and very recognized. But with this, there is a problem: It’s very old, and with effects of the time, there is very damaged. And the technology is very old in comparison with other faculties, as the Economics faculty, that they have a lot of money spent in this kind of necessary resources.
In other field, we have some problems with the teachers. In several cases, they don’t have a good preparation for be a teacher of the Universidad de Chile, because not all are capacitating continually.
For me, these are the main fields that needs improvements for increase the added value. In this situation the first step for begin an improve in this situation, is create a general consent between the three stratums; the academicals, the functionaries, and the student, for generate common ideas about what we want.
Hence, I propose a change of place a bigger building. There are some projects for transfer this career to the Economics faculty, that for me, it’s very good, but not for all, because some people things that with this change we lost autonomy, that it’s truth, but is a price for pay.
The other can be solved with a change of academicals, emphasizing the quality of the teachers.
All this changes can have very good improvements, both the quality of the education as in the motivation of the students, because if they have more tolls for their needs, more added value can have.
The other steps are appreciate this changes, and use it for improve this situation, and for this, if we some day change of faculty, we can take care it, and use it for the common welfare.
