In this paper, I hold the thesis that in the vast majority of regional colleges and universities the achievements related to such plea are scarce. I analyze the <em>essential plea</em>and examine the reasons that prevent its realization. I also give some recommendations that could contribute to realize the <em>essential plea</em>in this field.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Revista Guillermo de Ockham}, author={García-Duque, Carlos Emilio}, year={2021}, month={Oct.}, pages={127–136} }
