This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) aims to address and identify academic progress in the subject of Values Education at Higher Education Institutions in the XXIst century and adapt it today´s context. The point of departure for this international study was based on a systematic database review (Dialnet, Redalyc and Scielo); A total number of 35 articles from Latin America were found based on the following four inclusion criteria: 1. Database Search: Dialnet, Redalyc and Scielo, 2. Fields that included the term Values Education; 3. Studies that covered periods ranging from 2013 – 2018 and, 4. Open access. A final sample of 14 research papers was collected. According to our findings, Higher Education Institutions (HEI) must rethink their purpose and commitment to society in order to educate students with solid ethical and moral values. Faculty requires more training in employing pedagogy skills aimed at teaching good critical thinking and decision-making skills based on a values scale consistent with XXIst century needs and economic and social contexts, directed at enacting government policies in values education. It is suggested that future research focus on implementing and proposing values considered as valid for today´s context.
