University budget uncertainty in Costa Rica and Peru

Overview

Public universities in Costa Rica and Peru are facing significant financial uncertainty regarding their 2027 budgets.

In Costa Rica, the Universidad Estatal a Distancia (UNED) has postponed the release of its 2027 socioeconomic scholarship results. Rector Rodrigo Arias warned that proposed budget cuts could reduce student enrollment by more than half and impact the university’s 40 regional campuses. Additionally, the university union (SIUNED) has criticized recent salary reforms and deteriorating working conditions.

In Peru, the Rector of the Universidad Nacional de San Cristóbal de Huamanga (UNSCH), Emilio Ramírez, warned that a potential 64% reduction in the Ayacucho Regional Government budget could jeopardize infrastructure projects. These projects include works for the School of Biology, roads, and security systems for five professional schools.
