Abstract

This article explores the relationship between educational policies and strategic decision-making in university administration, with a focus on their impact on quality training. Through a documentary review, the dynamics that influence the implementation of these policies were analyzed, and key trends were identified, such as the integration of quality assurance systems, digitalization of processes, internationalization, commitment to sustainability, and promotion of inclusion in higher education institutions. The analysis highlights that, although these trends offer opportunities to transform higher education, their implementation faces important barriers, such as inequality in resources, the technological gap, and resistance to change in traditional structures. These limitations underscore the need for strategic university administration, capable of balancing global demands with local realities and ensuring a positive impact on students and communities. The success of these policies lies in collaborative and innovative approaches that integrate the participation of diverse actors and strengthen the internal capacities of institutions and promote relevant, equitable and sustainable academic training.
