Widening Higher Education Participation

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the impact of widening participation policies in higher education, this book compiles insights from 23 scholars across 11 countries. It addresses government initiatives aimed at increasing access for disadvantaged students and examines their social and economic implications. While it highlights well-documented cases in developed nations, it also uncovers lesser-known experiences from countries like Brazil, China, and South Africa. Organized into three themes, the chapters explore historical contexts, inclusive learning outcomes, and socioeconomic theories related to these policies.
