The countries, with support of international organisms like Unesco and the World Bank, have displaced the priorities of the primary education to the high education. The inequality and exclusion are pronounced in front of universal criteria and, mainly, in front of goals related to the social development and the economic productivity. This work demonstrates that such problematic is particularly sensible in latin America for being the region of the world with greater inequality. Supported in the effect-institution, and contemporary literature in sociology, the author concludes that the universities that take care of social population, cultural and economically at a disadvantage must deliver superior efforts to improve the quality in the processes and the educative results by virtue of their own definition of the mission and the institutional vision.
