Written for policy makers, advocates, and scholars looking into social justice, this book tackles a prevalent barrier to equality. It offers an interdisciplinary overview of exclusion from higher education and its impact on marginalized groups, including refugees, indigenous populations, people with disabilities, and racial or ethnic minorities.
Policy makers, advocates and scholars have long concentrated on the importance of equal access to primary and secondary education as a foundation for a democratic and just society. Despite the growing importance of higher and specialist education in an increasingly technological and skill-focused global market, tertiary education has attracted much less attention. And yet, universities and colleges are epicentres of egregious disparities in access, which impinge on traditionally marginalized communities, such as racial minorities, migrants, indigenous populations, and people with disabilities. By drawing attention to this issue and assembling first-rate material from scholars and policy makers across the globe, this book performs an invaluable service for those interested in understanding and fighting a highly significant violation of educational opportunity and social justice.
