The Puerto Rican Congress on
Research in Education originated in 1987 as a result of the initiative of
several professors from the Department of Graduate Studies and the Educational
Research Center, College of Education at the University of Puerto Rico, Rio
Piedras Campus. Since its beginning, it has been committed to disseminate
research in the College of Education, the country and the Caribbean region, in
order to contribute to the Puerto Rican education.
Over the years, this
Congress has become one of the core activities of the Educational Research
Center and the College of Education, while it has continued to expand its reach
to the Puerto Rican educational environment. In addition of being a forum for
research conducted in Puerto Rico, the Congress provides a space for the
exchange of ideas with guests from Latin America, the United States, the
Caribbean region, Europe, and other countries around the world.
In the past, the Congress
has been co-sponsored by several entities, among them the Chancellor’s Office
of UPR- Rio Piedras Campus, the Office of the President of the University of
Puerto Rico, the Dean of Academic Affairs, the Dean of Graduate Studies and
Research of the UPR, and the Puerto Rico’s Council of Higher Education.
