Today Venezuela is undergoing a revolutionary transformation with changes in national political paradigm, which do not escape the institutions of higher education, being essential to have a management process that meets its social mission, specifically in the preservation, development and promotion of culture, which in its dialectical relationship is an expression of the integration of college substantive processes. The National Experimental Polytechnic University of the Armed Forces (UNEFA) initiated a process of expansion and updating of curricula in the context of globalization, an increase in enrollment to reach the goals the President has proposed a university without exceptions of any kind, a fact that promises a truly national university, with real presence in different regions of the country and open to the Venezuelan people.
