“…One proposal to increase access to training programmes is to decentralise provision and assess the relevance of selection and admission criteria [ 43 ]. A benchmark for increasing access to higher education was Brazil, which financed a network of public universities and tried to consolidate distance education [ 44 ]. Another strategy to address geographical barriers is the e-learning model.…”

Background This study aims to describe the training offered and the availability of professionals required by the Ministry of Health for mental health problems management in the community. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out on the training offered in mental health in Peruvian universities. A search for programs was conducted using the University Information System database and universities' websites, as well as using the Ministry of Health's database on health personnel and data on the number of enrolled and current students provided by the University Information System database and the Transparency section of the universities. Results There were 214 undergraduate, 55 specialty and 7 subspecialty programmes, of which 39%, 47% and 100%, respectively, were offered in the capital city. The duration ranged from 5 to 7 years for undergraduate programs and from 1 to 3 years for subspecialty and second specialty programs. The cost of undergraduate programs ranged from free of charge up to USD 6863.75 for the first semester of study. Second specialty programs ranged from 720 up to 11 986 USD and subspecialty programs ranged from 2267 up to 9138 USD, with medicine being the most expensive. On the other hand, there are a greater number of psychology students (n = 78 781) pursuing undergraduate studies than working professionals (n = 5368), while in the second specialty of psychiatry there are far fewer students pursuing the specialty (n = 67) than working professionals (n = 454). Conclusions The problem of professional training in mental health requires that the institutions involved in health and education develop policies to decentralize programs, communicate the demand for professionals in certain areas, make them accessible to the low-income population, respond to mental health problems and guarantee their quality. On the other hand, regarding the low number of mental health personnel working, it is suggested to increase the mental health budget to generate more mental health services and employment.

Innovation constitutes an important output of education. With the differences in the two-dimensional cooperation between universities, the government, and enterprises in the mode featuring “triple helix” as a starting point, this article has compared the features of the influence of differences in the quality of higher education on enterprise and regional innovation by adopting the data of listed companies and provincial-level macro-statistical data from 2013 to 2020 to construct the count panel data model. The research has proved that the “inverted U” feature is presented between the range of quality among universities and the level of innovation output. However, the coefficient of the differences in quality between universities in relation to the optimal innovation output of enterprises is higher than that of regional innovation output. That is to say, differences are existent in the differences in the path of the influence of the differences in quality between universities with respect to entrepreneurship and national innovation. To some extent, this research result explains the reason why the country has cultivated a large number of talents but is still faced with the situation characterized by the lack of talents related to the so-called crucial technologies. Therefore, on the basis of guaranteeing the basic operation rules of higher education, it is necessary for the third-party institutions to provide differentiated higher education information for enterprises and countries (regions) to realize the unity of the classification of schools in education and the signal of market-element allocation. Moreover, university alliances should be established so that the innovation demands based on enterprises and regions can be met through the transmission of information between universities so as to prevent universities from becoming tools for helping enterprises maximize their profits or for the government to pursue educational achievements.
