Governments have introduced policies to widen the participation of
disadvantaged students in higher education. Widening participation
policies are also introduced to ensure that higher education
contributes to social and economic outcomes. This book includes
important insights from 23 leading scholars across 11 countries on
a wide range of topics that focus on government policies,
institutional structures and the social and economic impacts of
widening participation. While widening participation policies and
outcomes in developed countries are more widely documented, the
policies, achievements, and challenges in other countries such as
Brazil, China, Indonesia, South Africa and Palestine are not so
widely disseminated. Therefore, the 'untold stories' of policies
and outcomes of widening participation are a key part of this book.
The chapters are organised according to three overarching themes,
which include national and transnational studies of the history of
widening participation and current policies; inclusive learning and
academic outcomes; and socioeconomic structures, concepts and
theories.
