This book discusses and analyses global policies and practices
aimed at promoting equity in higher education participation and
attainment. Although the massification of higher education systems
has facilitated the participation of students from deprived
backgrounds, socioeconomic inequalities persist in access to the
most prestigious institutions and programmes. Privileged students
benefit from a number of advantages in the competition for
selective and scarce places: access to information, lower aversion
to debt, higher expectations, better previous schooling and higher
academic achievement. The chapters present a critical analysis of
equity policies in different countries - with or without
affirmative action policies, within a context of neoliberal
policies or within a social democratic model - and the reasons why
they have failed to promote equity and fairness, preventing
students from achieving their full educational potential.This is an
open access book.
