Rector meets with United Nations Secretary-General

Catholic University rector meets with United Nations Secretary-General

The meeting between Isabel Capeloa Gil, Rector of the Catholic University of Portugal, and António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations Organization, on June 16th, in New York, was an opportunity to present the International Federation of Catholic Universities, of which the Rector is president, and to discuss strategies for higher education.

The meeting was marked by the discussion of concrete strategies for the realization of Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education "Ensure access to inclusive, quality and equitable education, and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all", at a time when higher education is becoming a factor of growing inequality. It was in this context that the Rector made known the Ser Capaz Program, to be launched by Católica.
