politician Panama

Ricardo Parker serves as the Secretary General of the University of Panama (UP), where he has recently discussed the challenges the institution faces due to a significant budget cut. Under his leadership, UP anticipates admitting around 17,000 new students in 2026, although the decrease in funding—reduced from $412 million to $317.5 million—has led to limitations in hiring faculty and maintaining infrastructure, particularly in regional campuses.
