10/31/2022, Xalapa, Ver- “Accreditation is not a procedure, it is really a check of the collective action of the university community,” said the President of Universidad Veracruzana (UV), Martín Aguilar Sánchez, after the recognition given by external assessment agencies to 11 educational programs (PE) from the university’s five regions for their relevance, quality and distinction.
In the room next to the Cultural Center in Tlaqna, a ceremony was held for the accreditation and reaccreditation of physical education in the academic fields of humanities, biological, agricultural, economic-administrative, technical and health sciences.

In his message, the Rector of the University highlighted the achievements of the university community to re-accredit the archeology and nursing degrees, and to accredit the dental surgeon in the Xalapa region. This latter PE has also been identified in the regions of Coatzacoalcos, Minatitlan, Veracruz, Poza Rica, and Tuxpan.
In Veracruz and Poza Rica Tuxpan, re-accreditation was granted to coordinators of veterinary medicine, veterinary medicine, zoology, and civil engineering, respectively.

This gratitude has been extended to the Vice-Chancellors of Universities, the General Managers of the Academic and UV-Intercultural Districts, and to all staff of each academic entity.
“Quality of education is not something that is created the previous nothingness, but you have to do it and display it; It is an exercise in continuous self-exploration which cannot exhaust – and does not intend – external evaluation, but involves carrying out continuing education, open to observations of other viewpoints and correcting where correction is needed.”
He said that it is hoped that new meanings will be generated from this continuous training and multiply from them to help link with knowledge, learning and knowledge of the future.
While transmitting the act remotely to the rest of the University, representatives of the accrediting bodies highlighted the quality, relevance and excellence of PE UV recognized today, which is the result of the permanent work and disposition of the members of each student entity who voluntarily decided to undergo this rigorous assessment directed towards continuous improvement.

For this reason, I express to students that they should feel proud of belonging to a PE committed to their comprehensive and quality education.
