Bolivarian University of Venezuela . It is a public university created in the last decade in Venezuela, founded in 2003 by presidential decree. It began its teaching work in various academic areas in September of that year. The UBV was created to serve as the tip of the Misión Sucre program, aimed at serving “the popular sectors traditionally excluded from Higher Education institutions.” Due to the municipalization of its training programs, it is currently the university with the highest enrollment of students in the entire country. Due to the creation of this University and the Sucre Mission, a Unesco report shows that Venezuela it is in second place in Latin America and the Caribbean in the rate of university education. According to these figures, the university education in this country means that Venezuela is in fifth place in the world, behind Cuba, Korea , Finland and Greece. In other words, it is, in theory, above countries like Mexico and the Philippines.
Historical review
As an alternative to the traditional educational system and under the concept of contributing to the transformation of the national and Latin American reality, the Bolivarian University of Venezuela was born in revolution.
Created by the president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, [[Hugo Chávez Frías [], according to presidential decree No. 2517 dated July 18, 2003, the House of Knowledge, becomes a space for its students and teachers generate contributions for the systematization and socialization in their communities of cultural, educational, scientific, technological, social and humanistic knowledge, based on the integrationist thinking of El Libertador Simón Bolívar.
Thus, the Bolivarian University of Venezuela is present in the various localities and regions doing and fulfilling the function of building and consolidating the Homeland through its twelve (12) headquarters and more than 1,300 university villages that are located throughout the country.
To date, section 2013-I, the UBV has graduated three hundred eight thousand four hundred seventy-nine (380,479) professionals committed to the Nation through the Undergraduate Training Programs in Agroecology, Architecture, Social Communication, Political Economy, Political Studies and Government, Environmental Management, Gas, Social Management of Local Development, Public Health Management, Informatics for Social Management, National Educators Program, Petroleum, Refining and Petrochemicals, Radiotherapy, Comprehensive Community Medicine and Legal Studies.
Likewise, the Bolivarian University of Venezuela teaches Advanced Training Studies: specialization, doctorates, masters and diplomas, among others. Likewise, it has the Rosa Luxemburg Language Center, where students and the community in general are given the opportunity to learn languages such as English, French, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, Arabic, Venezuelan Sign Language, Spanish, Braille, (Technology adapted for people with visual disabilities) and Wayuunaiki, Warao, Pemon and Kariña.
We are proudly taking giant steps to make the dream of Supreme Commander Hugo Chávez Frías, which today is the legacy of Constitutional President Nicolás Maduro Moros, come true. That there is a liberating education, with criteria of social justice, inclusive, free and of quality. Because we are born in revolution, because we are Chávez… We are UBV
