<strong>Salvador</strong> there are one public (University of <strong>El</strong> <strong>Salvador</strong> – Central and<br />
multidisciplinary faculties), and about forty private universities, where the<br />
University of <strong>El</strong> <strong>Salvador</strong> is consi<strong>de</strong>red the most important since it offers to<br />
stu<strong>de</strong>nts from low income families the best opportunity to access higher<br />
education, with an average enrollment of 51,000 stu<strong>de</strong>nts<br />
(adacad@ues.edu.sv).<br />
Some <strong>de</strong>ca<strong>de</strong>s ago, the UES has been involved in several problems like<br />
overcrowding affecting the quality of education. As ex - minister of<br />
education, Evelyn Jacir <strong>de</strong> Lovo said that overcrowding in universities is<br />
affecting the quality of higher education this is due to the little involvement<br />
professors have in scientific fire research and the lack of attention paid to<br />
stu<strong>de</strong>nts. “We need to make concerted efforts to improve higher education”.<br />
(La prensa Grafica/ Spanish – <strong>El</strong> <strong>Salvador</strong>, 1999).<br />
In a way being the UES part of CSUCA, it carries out different projects for<br />
improving the quality of higher education, and preventing to reduce quality<br />
as higher education expands. So UES is trying to be updated <strong>de</strong>veloping<br />
innovative projects as in the case of two recent ones which are “Learning<br />
Evaluation Methods” ma<strong>de</strong> by Team of Quality of the West<br />
Multidisciplinary Faculty and “Development of the Integral Quality at the<br />
UES” Ma<strong>de</strong> by Team of Secretary of Aca<strong>de</strong>mic Matters, and Council of<br />
Aca<strong>de</strong>mic Administrators (ADACAD).<br />
