The activity is part of the program to celebrate the XXXIII institutional anniversary.

In the premises of the Isabel Bongard Campus, the inauguration ceremony was held for the new equipment for the Computer Laboratory of the Pedagogy in Basic General Education career and the furniture for the rooms of the Department of Education, attached to the Faculty of Humanities.

On the occasion, the Academic Vice-Rector of the University of La Serena, Dr. Jorge Catalán Ahumada, representing the Rector Nibaldo Avilés, pointed out that ''the rooms have new furniture with high standards, as well as technological equipment, according to the needs of the students. The renovation of these campuses represents a new example of the commitment to quality of our institution, as the only state university in the region. The ULS assumes the great challenges of Chilean higher education, especially those that are related to quality, equity and inclusivity, therefore, one of the aspects is the renewal in the initial training of future educators. .

The new equipment of the Computer Laboratory of the Pedagogy program in Basic General Education and the improvement of the room furniture seek to provide spaces of greater comfort and technological access for academics, students and officials, which is in direct accordance with the route of the Model Educational established by the corporation.

''The current administration has committed the directors of the different units to carry out a diagnosis of their needs related to the continuous improvement of teaching, such as improvement of infrastructure, furniture and equipment, thus providing the appropriate environment for the learning of Young. The directors, with the support of their coordinators and academics, have visualized these needs and have developed the Specific Projects that have been channeled through the Teaching Directorate, achieving the implementation of the spaces," emphasized the Mg. Laura Vega, Director of Teaching of the corporation. The authority added that currently more than 80% of the spaces dedicated to teaching have been significantly improved. 

As pointed out by Mg. Bernardo Jopia, director of the Department of Education, the investment made allowed the renovation of 19 CPUs in the laboratory. The new equipment will fundamentally benefit Pedagogy in Basic General Education and eventually for other careers that require it such as Kindergarten Education and Differential Education. Regarding the equipment of rooms, the project allowed us to renew the furniture of 4 rooms, to which is added the Multipurpose room, with a cost of 16 million pesos.
