Fair Access

The goal of the article is to explore the issue of equity in access to higher education (HE) for special needs andsocially deprived students, give a vivid picture of education policy discourse in the system of higher education andshow the importance of defending the principles of social justice in order to ensure inclusion for vulnerable groups.The overview of the Georgian legislation including the law of Georgia on higher education is of vital importance tosee the statutory responsibilities towards socially disadvantaged groups. The analysis of the Georgian highereducation system alongside the admission system is vital to understand whether it serves and meets society’s needsand demands in terms of social justice and to generalize the factors that work either as incentives or impedimentsfor socially deprived and special needs students to get a fair access to higher education.

Direct And Indirect Costs

This paper reveals the travel characteristics; direct and indirect costs and travel times; users’ perceptions with respect to reliability, comfort and safety; and impact on the quality of academic performance for students in the Centro Acadêmico do Agreste of UFPE, located in Caruaru, Brazil, which has 3,000 students from 70 cities. Almost 50% of these students live in cities located within 100 km of Caruaru and commute for three hours on average (round-trip). These trips are mostly performed on non-regular intercity transport, chartered by users or municipalities. This kind of transport, apparently inadequate in operational terms, makes access to higher education possible for a significant proportion of students, keeping them residents of their hometowns.

Equity In Access

Abstract The principle of equity traditionally means that equals should be treated equally and unequals should be treated unequally. Applied to higher education, that principle implies that institutions should grant access to aspiring students based on their demonstrated motivation and ability to take advantage of such education. However, neither a standard inherent-desert nor a social-value argument succeed in providing a moral justification for the equity principle for access to higher education. Therefore, it is argued that the principle of equality in access to higher education, according to which no aspiring student may be denied such access, is more morally justified than the principle of equity in access.

Positive Effect

Fies and ProUni students financing programs intensified the access to higher education and mobilized the creation of courses, with the management course as one of the most favored. However, few studies have discussed the aspects of this policy to foment higher education influencing students' academic performance. In this way, this article aim to measure, through the method of the binary choice dependent models (Probit model), the probability that the management students participating in the financing programs will achieve a good academic performance in Enade 2015. Based on the results, it was concluded that these student funding programs positively and significantly influenced the likelihood of students achieving above-average academic performance of management students. The costing modalities of management students associated with ProUni had the highest probabilities of a positive effect on performance, while Fies, although positive, had a marginal probabilistic marginal effect in relation to academic performance.
