Higher education in El Salvador faces challenges within a context of social, economic, and technological transformations. This research, "Prospects for Higher Education in El Salvador," identified future scenarios to anticipate and manage these changes. The academic offerings and their capacity to respond to economic and labor market dynamics were analyzed. Using a mixed-methods approach that included surveys, a literature review, and consultations with experts, economic trends, student perceptions, and developed competencies were examined. Scenarios were constructed based on critical variables such as public investment and university-industry partnerships. Finally, strategic recommendations were formulated to strengthen the education system.
