In Chile during the last forty years, there have been important
initiatives aimed at increasing equity in higher education,
including the private provision of tertiary education starting in
1980, the growing support provided by the state to low-income
students through financial aid, the increasing importance of
institutional financial aid, a university admissions system that
has made efforts to reduce the important weight standardized test
scores have traditionally had in admissions decisions and
institutional-level programs implemented to broadened the admission
of low income students to selective institutions. This book seeks
to describe the concurrent efforts undertaken both at the national
and at the institutional level to increase equity in access to
higher education and educational outcomes in Chile during the last
four decades. Taking stock of the accomplishments of Chiles higher
education system is especially important at a time when social
demands and political decisions seem to deeply question the road
traveled.
