title: [The planning of higher or university education and the concept of politics, strategy and planning].
abstract: The phenomenon of mass education and the crisis of university education in Latin America, in particular in the 1960's, are broadly analyzed. From the facts that characterized the period in question, two conclusions may be drawn: (1) that the basic role of the university must be redefined on the basis of new principles and different content; and (2) that a university must be administered by a system other than improvization. The concepts of policy, strategy, and plan are considered in depth and then explained as they apply to curriculum planning and design.
