From the Assembly of the Ecuadorian Higher Education System there were also voices in favor of the existence of entry controls so that only students, teachers and administrative staff could enter through a registry without access to other people.
In a meeting between higher education authorities, the Ministry of the Interior and rectors, according to Senescyt, they agreed that security requires articulated and permanent work.
One of the agreements was to carry out a study to determine the focal and strategic points of the educational institutions where a video surveillance system will be implemented. (YO)
