REDEC
In the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) continuous education began formally in July 1971, when, in the School of Engineering, the first Center for Continuing Education was founded. Since then, continuing education at UNAM has been organized and coordinated in different ways and by different structures, always depending on contexts and needs for which the University has passed.
Over five decades, continuing education has acquired different nuances; among them, it has been assumed as a complementary activity to university work, or as a source of extraordinary resources exclusively. From these core ideas articulated to the “Guidelines for the development of an academic proposal for the period 2007-2011”, the CUAED considers it necessary to give new impetus to the Continuous Education Network UNAM (REDEC).
