Costa Rica university funding dispute: CONARE holds FEES distribution, TEC and UNED protest

Costa Rica's CONARE has decided to maintain the current distribution of FEES (university funding) for 2027, prompting protests from TEC and UNED. UCR and UNA have pledged to forgo any potential increases to allocate funds to TEC, UNED, and UTN. The decision reflects ongoing tensions over higher education budget allocation, with implications for institutional finances and political dynamics.
