As a consequence, 50 new universities were created in one decade, under the surveillance of the Council for Superior Education.

Some have improved the quality of their academic staff, perform research and impart doctorate degrees. However, most are small and with a limited academic staff.

Eight private universities and some regional institutions, that are becoming complex and performing research activities, are stratified in a middle level.
