In this article we will start presenting some aspects of process for enrollment and access to higher education proposed by the Brazilian Black Movement. Then we focus on the first document on specific policies for blacks, indians and persons with disabilities, issued by the Federal Government, and the national and international dynamics that led to the entry of these populations in public universities. The purpose of the paper is to reflect on the historical inequalities in access to higher education and about the current framework of affirmative action policies that have turned to the entrance of black students, indigenous people and people with disabilities in post-graduate programs in Brazil. In this sense, we will hold in mainly the challenges and demands for education of the black population, punctuating, where relevant, some aspects that indicate issues with the other groups.

This study basically tries to understand how far sources of irrigation mediate development outcomes relating to education. This micro-level study based on a comparative study of both canal-irrigated and non-canal-irrigated villages in the Hyderabad–Karnataka region shows that public irrigation plays a major role in achieving inclusiveness in education, especially higher education. Unlike a non-canal-irrigated village, in a canal-irrigated village, along with ‘ dominant castes, a few Scheduled Castes (SCs) also have access to higher education. The access to ‘quality education’, in terms of private institutions and English medium schools, is also inclusive in canal-irrigated villages. On the other hand, access to education is limited to big landowners in a non-canal-irrigated village. However, a gender-wise analysis shows that the above inclusiveness in canal-irrigated villages regarding access to education has failed to reach women. Such outcomes in education are explained in terms of landownership pattern, private investment in irrigation and gendered access to education.

In the context of increasing numbers of students enrolling in higher education in the last decade, understanding student expectations of their universities becomes more important. Universities need to know what students expect if they want to keep them satisfied and continue attracting them. On the other hand, it is also important to know whether student expectations are in line with the purpose of the universities and the causes they serve. This research explores students’ expectations and perceptions of the university in post-Soviet Georgia, as well as whether these expectations are in line with the perspectives of university administrators. For the purposes of this research, over 800 bachelor level students of different academic programs were surveyed at five big public universities across Georgia. Additionally, 10 in-depth interviews were conducted with university administrators to learn about the purpose that public universities try to serve and to understand their perspectives on what should be expected of university. After the analysis of the results, two focus groups were conducted with the students in Western and Eastern Georgia to make sense of the findings obtained through the student survey. Finally, 4 in-depth interviews were conducted with experts to understand their perspectives on the actual findings of this research. The results suggest that employment is the main expectation from a university education. Moreover, there is a mismatch between what students identify as their primary expectation and what administrators believe students should expect. Significance and implications of these results for universities are discussed.

As statistics relating the policies of expanding access to higher education with the quality of education focus mainly on the impacts of affirmative actions on the quality of education offered by public HEIs. To extend this analysis to Prouni and Fies, this article aims to evaluate the effects of different grants and funding to the federal government through Prouni and Fies, on the Enade Concept, considering the years 2009, 2012 and 2015. For this, multilevel regression models with panel data were estimated. The results allow us to identify what Prouni Integral positively influences the quality of education, while receiving funding through Fies only has no applied effects. These results contribute to the debate related to the positive and negative aspects of these policies, altering the positive potential Prouni and the need for revisions, under different aspects, of the Fies.

Privatisation of higher education is a global trend. There is an increasing demand for higher education due to the nature of work and economy today, and public universities and colleges cannot meet the demand with their limited financial resources from the government. Private higher education institutions (PHEI) seem to be the most attractive alternative to public universities and colleges in opening greater access to higher education. Malaysia is no exception, having about 25 private universities, 22 private university colleges and 410 private colleges and institutes. About a fourth of these PHEIs are Islamic institutions going by the name of the institutions or their ownership. However, private higher education institutions have their own issues and challenges. The most serious of them are preserving the philosophical goal of a balanced and integrated education despite market demands and sustaining its operation financially amidst a competitive environment. Yet, there are several opportunities for Islamic PHEIs especially in terms of international collaboration and exchanges. This article is an attempt to examine these issues and challenges or opportunities.

ABSTRACTThis research aims to incorporate E-learning as a complementary tool for teaching and learning for people with hearing disabilities, assuming that universities should comply with the provisions of the affirmative action measures in benefit of accession of Persons with Disabilities to Higher Education in Venezuela, on the other hand, as indicated in the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and other relevant laws on disability, which recognize that this population have been discriminated against in the Education University tion so should be allowed equal opportunities in the entry of people with disabilities at university level. In this sense, it is intended to supplement teaching through electronic books, guides, Self, exercises, forums, chat, videoconference and others; to strengthen the knowledge received in the classroom, motivated that there is a disadvantage in high schools, colleges and universities due to lack of sign language interpreters Venezuelan support to teachers. The research design was documentary, bibliographic and field descriptive. Within this framework it is raised the need to rethink the teaching practice, proposing new challenges that will generate, among other things strategic alternative pedagogical gies for building an educational culture in which all feel part well break the barriers of language and communication allowing for greater inclusion of people with hearing loss, or deaf to the university and on the other hand the educational transformation is to strengthen and facilitate understanding of the issues of greatest difficulty through the use of E-learningRESUMENEste trabajo de investigación tiene como propósito incorporar el E-learning como herramienta complementaria para la enseñanza y aprendizaje de las personas con discapacidad auditiva, partiendo de que las universidades deben cumplir con lo establecido en las Medidas de Acción Afirmativa a Favor del Ingreso de las Personas con Discapacidad a la Educación Universitaria en Venezuela, por otra parte, lo indicado en la Constitución de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela y otras leyes competentes en discapacidad, donde reconocen que esta población han sido discriminadas de la Educación Universitaria por lo que se debe permitir la equiparación de oportunidades en el ingreso de personas con discapacidad a  nivel Universitario.En este sentido, se pretende complementar la enseñanza a través de Libros electrónicos, Guías, Autoevaluación, Ejercicios, Foros, Chat, Videoconferencias entre otros; a fin de que refuercen el conocimiento recibido en las aulas de clases, motivado a que existe una gran desventaja en los institutos, colegios y universidades por no contar con intérpretes de lengua de señas venezolanas que apoyen a los docentes.El diseño de la investigación fue documental, bibliográfico y de campo, de tipo descriptivo. Dentro de este marco se planteó la necesidad de repensar la práctica docente, al proponer nuevos desafíos que permitan generar, entre otros aspectos estrategias pedagógicas alternas para la construcción de una cultura educativa en la cual todos se sientan partícipes además de romper con las barreras de lenguaje y comunicación permitiendo una mayor inclusión de personas con hipoacusia, o con discapacidad auditiva al ámbito universitario y por otro lado se ve la transformación educativa al fortalecer y facilitar la comprensión de los temas de mayor dificultad a través de la utilización del E-learning. Contato principal: [email protected]

This work is part of the results of an investigation that is being carried out at the Technological University of Tula-Tepeji with the objective of analyzing the public policy of creation of the Technological Universities Subsystem (SUT) that the Mexican federal government implemented in response to educational equity. The work corresponds to an investigation with an exploratory and analytical approach that began with the study of theories related to equity in education and the educational policies implemented by the federal government in terms of equity to land with a quantitative study of the SUT. An attempt is made to answer the question: In what way has the SUT contributed to reducing situations of educational inequity in groups of young students from the less favored social strata? to assess scope, for now, only with respect to educational inclusion. However, educational equity is a more comprehensive concept that encompasses other dimensions of analysis and not only effective access to higher education, which is why it is proposed in the end to carry out other complementary studies to make a more objective balance. of the results achieved by the SUT.

Several studies address the notion of inclusive higher education from the perspective of access questioning who participates, where, and how in the sense of equity, raising issues of enrolment of disadvantaged groups. This chapter approaches the concept of inclusion in the Ethiopian higher education system from an epistemic access perspective. The argument is that discussions on access to higher education for disadvantaged groups should go beyond mere physical access and should be conceptualized in a manner that reflects educational outcomes and post-enrollment experiences. This chapter aims at exploring the notion of inclusive higher education and epistemic access to students with disabilities in Ethiopian public universities. The study is based on in-depth interviews of 25 students with disabilities from five Ethiopian public universities. The chapter argues that the higher education system in Ethiopia should re-approach the notion of access and take a proactive measure to ensure epistemic access to students with disabilities.
