While the massification of higher education systems has indeed facilitated the inclusion of students from disadvantaged backgrounds, socioeconomic disparities persist in access to prestigious institutions and programs. Privileged students, thanks to various advantages such as access to information, a lower aversion to debt, heightened expectations, better prior schooling, and higher academic achievement, find themselves at an advantage in the competitive race for limited and coveted spots.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters within this book provide a critical assessment of equity policies in various countries, considering whether they exist alongside affirmative action policies, within the framework of neoliberal policies, or within a social democratic model. The authors explore the reasons behind these policies' failure to foster equity and fairness, hindering students from reaching their full educational potential.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is proudly offered as an open access resource, ensuring widespread accessibility and dissemination of knowledge to all interested individuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 456g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 153 x 217 x 23 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030696900\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44102958252282,"sku":"9783030696900","price":37.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1647338092106_book.jpg?v=1647356572","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/equity-policies-in-global-higher-education-reducing-inequality-and-increasing-participation-and-attainment-9783030696900","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
