The historic route of the country, in terms of scientific and technological development, shows the insignificant weight in the policies of governments. In particular, the graduate degrees in psychology have been sporadic, of questionable quality and of little importance in the academic and profesional context. It requires the implementation and strengthening of educational policies and consistency in the quality of higher education, especially basic, applied and technological research. Noteworthy are the treaties in the formation of MERCOSUR, the creation of ANEAES (2003) for the process of quality accreditation, and the work of the SPPs for the Education Act. The twenty-first century brings the expectation of a paraguayan psychology stronger in its local scientific and practical profile, and able to confront the regional and global challenges.
