Deskripsi

<p class="p1">This article argues that the limited progress in outreach within Mexico’s higher education institutions (<span class="s1">HEI</span>s) is due to the lack of a clear and socially-shared meaning of what this activity is. We propose a typology based on the actions undertaken in the <span class="s1">HEI</span>s. This emphasizes the concept oriented by an economistic point of view. It also raises the possibility of recognizing outreach as a basic function in addition to those usually recognized in the <span class="s1">HEI</span>s.</p>
