BUAP certifies 303 professors in academic tutoring management

The Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP) has certified 303 professors in the Internal Labor Competence Standard for Higher Education Academic Tutoring Management. The certification process, led by Rector Lilia Cedillo Ramírez and the Student Services Directorate, aims to professionalize academic guidance for university students.

The certification followed an institutional diagnosis involving 905 teachers to identify training needs. The training program required over 160 hours of work and covered eight core areas, including tutoring fundamentals, competency-based training, intervention, monitoring, evaluation, and continuous improvement. The curriculum also integrated topics such as institutional identity and generative artificial intelligence to address modern educational challenges.

Rodrigo Iván Aguilar, Director of Student Services, noted that the initiative was supported by the Administrative Secretariat through the Department of Training and Development. As a result of the program, the certified faculty members developed proposals designed to meet the specific needs of the student community.
