ABSTRACT: This article describes the application of the Higher
Education Multiple Contributions Fund for the Technological and Polytechnic
Universities in Mexico from 2000 to 2018. This information was obtained from
the Ministry of Public Education and from the General Office of Technological
and Polytechnic Universities. The variables for this analysis were: the federal
resource investments on physical infrastructure conducted for each fiscal year
for the aforementioned period, and the evolution of enrolled students. A
quantitative method was used, non-experimental, transactional, descriptive. The
analysis universe was 179 universities from the technological and polytechnic
universities. There was a comparison conducted of the resources invested in the
Multiple Contributions Fund on infrastructure and the yearly enrolled students
in the subsystem. Based on this information, this paper describes if there is a
relationship between the increase of students enrolled and the authorization of
federal resources for the Higher Education Multiple Contributions Fund. The
results obtained in the years from 2000 to 2018 were taken into consideration
where the number of students enrolled in universities increased by 851%, and
the cost per student invested in the fund decreased -88.04%. Results indicate that there is no relationship between the
application of investment in education infrastructure and the evolution of
enrolled students.
