Education quality in Ecuador is good. The issue is lack of opportunities to use the degrees.

Bro have you seen the ranking of our institution. Not to mention tha we did't really that in the recent PISA exam. Which basically mean out education system suck.

Doesnt mean shit. Its a global thing. And its not about fucking rankings... Usually our system doesnt rely on research, but the quality of education is quite good. Better than europe too, where there is research but doesnt go anywhere

Bro chill out. I'm Ecuadorian myself, so I know what I'm talking about. I don't mean to throw shade to our country. But the education system is crappy, at least at high school level. STEM wise specifically. Currently I'm doing an engineering undergrad at York in Canada just to find out I know nothing math, physich & chemestry. Just because the "bachillerato unificado" is a usless, apprentice of everyting and master of none. Cuz the most classes I got in Ecuador is a water down version. Now I have to double my effort to catch up my peers.

I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT TOO AND I AM PROBABLY OLDER THAN YOU

Are you talking about high school or universities? Because i am talking about universities. OP asked about a bachelor. I am ecuadorian too and our universities are fucking good so i wont allow anybody to say otherwise.

Chances are you would have struggled in a STEM program in Ecuador , which to be fair is common too everywhere, perhaps more so in Ecuador but idk how bad it is your case

Universities are pretty good, in fact often better than the "first world"

u/HippoNo6230 2d ago

We have better education than europeans for your information

Business administration

u/RadicalKitty721 9d ago

My son just graduated from business administration in USFQ there are no jobs in Quito he applies to dozens of jobs every day and gets no replies. The career cost (with a scholarship and payment plan) over 30k.

I don't think it's a good idea, in 2017-2018 was one of the easiest degrees to get accepted, since we had to take the admissions exam and the score was very low. My classmate graduated from that degree and now he works in a small bank.

What is your budget. I'd be worth it going to USFQ

u/meanlesbiancatlvr 8d ago

I studied abroad with USFQ. They take people from a ton of different countries, that's likely a good backup option

Buena inversión de tiempo conoces gente y nuevas cosas pero si es el estudio presencial. Para mi si es provechoso estudiar una licenciatura, pero si quieres ejercer y vivir de ella es otro tema donde más te ayudará hacer contactos que graduarte pronto.

It depends on what you want to study/major in, which university you want to study in, and what do you want of your degree. I have several classmates that did their undergraduate/bacherlors in Ecuador, and then did their master's or/and PhDs abroad, and they are doing pretty well (obviously not in Ecuador, they never returned because the opportunities there are better, and unfortunately we graduated during the pandemic).

You also have to LOVE whatever subject/major you want to study because then it would be easier to "enjoy" the grueling work it takes to get a master's at an elite university in the US, Canada, Australia,Europe or East Asia.
