Abstract

Socially, it has been reflected on the competences that the university demands from professionals. It is these reflections and demands that have led universities to rethink the curriculum with which they train professionals. Due to this reality and the social commitment of the universities, specifically the public ones, Nicaragua is experiencing a process of in-depth and assertive review regarding the study plans with which future teachers are trained.

This article will express the agreements reached by the four public universities attached to the Consejo Nacional de Universidades (National Council of Universities) CNU, to harmonize the curriculum that gives way to the academic training of high school teachers. Likewise, the successes and advances that will favor national education will be explained as prospects. Particularly noteworthy is the articulation between two education systems (Ministry of Education-University) to develop the skills required of a good teacher.
