The capital that is not used

By Humberto Quiroga Lavié
For The NATION

A note of Raquel San Martín published in the NATION the 9 of this month indicates with all precision and realism the necessity that the scientific notable capital that has our national universities is wasted, mainly in the days of shortage like which our country lives. One is not only which the universities demand resources to him to the State to be able to work, inexcusable obligation if we want to go out the crisis. In times in which the knowledge is the most important capital in terms of wealth generation, to paralyze the university task it would imply to put spouses to him, more than a corral, to the Argentine economic growth. One is, in addition, as or it indicates to Raquel San to it Martín, which the concrete propose universities offer to the State directed to implement the growth or the resolution of the structural problems that oppress to us.

Scientific capacity

The present president of the Council Interuniversitario Nacional, Daniel Martinez, director of the National University of the Slaughter, has proposed publicly that the State takes into account to our universities, in equality of conditions with the deprived consultants, at the time of tercerizar works or services public: the proposal would have to be regulated. Also it has suggested, agreeing in it with the director Daniel Malcom, of the National University of San Martín, who all the universities carry out a relevamiento of the installed scientific capacity in each one of them; I would say, as much to solve the problems more pressing than they prevent our development as to take advantage of the multiple used resources whereupon she does not count the country, and to generate or creative proposals with such object novel.

In times in which the information is to be able and disorganization implies an easement, is own that Argentina implements concrete ways to desburocratizar the services public. That is what we have tried from the Council of the Magistrature when causing the installation of programs of quality management, with application of rules ISO 9001, in a national court of the Capital, in the Hill Federal N° 3 of Zamora, with the support of the National Hill University, and in the Electoral National Camera. Multiple organizativas reforms to the state and deprived bureaucracy, to the state treasury in forward edge, need to make Argentina competitive. We know that in the National University of the Silver there are investigations outposts with concrete proposals to be used in the resolution of the serious problem that generate the floods in the province of Buenos Aires. We added these signallings to the multiple indications that in such sense Raquel formulates San Martín in his note.

State and University

The concrete thing is that the Argentineans we must surpass unfruitful antagonisms: case of the discussion on if the person in charge of the use of the university capital it is not the State, because it does not use these resources, against the opinion of which the universities are the people in charge, because they do not advance with precise and concrete proposals. That debate must settle from an agreement between the State and its national universities, to obtain that between one and others a strategic planning of the national development takes shape - concept this last that we have listened to him Jose Luis Coraggio, who was until these days governing of General Sarmiento -: a much more attainable proposal that to go to one "second republic", installing a parliamentary system in Argentina, proposal that, without structural transformations in the organization of the production, we are certain that it will not manage to modify the present state of things.
