“…Por otra parte, el acceso a la educación se ve afectado por las desigualdades, a nivel internacional. Por ello, existen hallazgos que muestran como el acceso a la educación superior se basa y refuerza en actividades sociales, tales como por el pago en secundarias privadas que inflan puntajes, lo cual mejora las posibilidades de acceso, por tanto, es necesario cerrar la brecha entre los menos privilegiados, para lo cual una respuesta es la masificación de la educación, lo cual baja las posibilidades de ingreso de las clase alta, como predilectos constantes al ingreso (Neves, et. al, 2017).…”

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo hacer un análisis del acceso a la educación en el ámbito público de las universidades ecuatorianas. Se realizó una investigación con un enfoque cualitativo, de carácter documental. Se emplearón el método dogmático-jurídico como técnica de recolección de información. Se aplicó el análisis documental, que parte del derecho constitucional a la educación, específicamente en relación al acceso a la misma, en igualdad de condiciones y oportunidades. También se incluye la normativa relativa a la temática y doctrina al respecto. El resultado del estudio determinó la vulneración del derecho al acceso de la educación superior en jóvenes bachilleres, en virtud de que el proceso de admisión se rige únicamente por un examen, que no observa otras aptitudes de los estudiantes. Por tal razón, se recomendó implementar otras estrategias en proceso de admisión, en aras de generar mayores oportunidades de acceso a la educación.

“…and restricts opportunities for the most vulnerable'. Neves et al (2017) also note that those from socio-economically advantaged backgrounds have benefitted from the massification of higher education to a greater extent than those from poorer financial backgrounds. Hence, whilst the number of students from working-class backgrounds in universities has increased, they remain a minority group within the higher education sector.…”

Many studies have highlighted the limited 'opportunity structures' of working-class undergraduates. However, there have been few studies exploring how students' agentic internal conversations mediate societal structures. Internal conversation is a reflexive process in which thoughts and decisions are considered in relation to social circumstances. This article seeks to further understandings of this reflexivity with 10 female working-class students. Theorisation using internal conversation emerged as an area of interest during interviews where journeys into higher education were narrated, within a larger study about engagement with assessment and feedback at university. Transcripts were analysed through Archer's morphogenetic approach to agency with the internal conversational phases of 'discernment', 'deliberation' and 'dedication'. Analysis indicated that participants demonstrated elements of both 'autonomous reflexivity' and 'communicative reflexivity'. Future studies should further explore the interplay between 'agency for change' and 'agency for stability' in the desire for upward mobility while simultaneously seeking to maintain existing social contexts.

“…Esse crescente processo de valorização da formação superior e as demandas pela sua ampliação, em Portugal, têm impulsionado estudos com foco nos processos de transição para o mercado de trabalho (Figueiredo, Biscaia, Rocha, & Teixeira, 2017) e da empregabilidade (David, Abreu, Segura, Formigoni, & Montovani, 2015); na transição do ensino secundário (Neves, Ferraz, & Nata, 2017); nas questões da equidade e da democratização (Dias, 2015); nas especificidades institucionais (Conceição, Heitor, & Horta, 2003;Magalhães, Amaral, & Tavares, 2009); nos novos públicos que acedem a esta formação (Brás et al, 2012;Fragoso et al, 2013); na questão das tecnologias e nas possibilidades do ensino a distância (Hasan & Laaser, 2010); nas implicações do Processo de Bolonha (Leite, Fernandes, & Sousa-Pereira, 2017;Thomas Dotta & Lopes, 2014); e nas características dos estudantes (Almeida, Guisande, Soares & Saavedra, 2006;Cerdeira, 2016). Apesar dos diferentes focos dos estudos que incidem sobre esse nível de ensino em Portugal, a questão das políticas acaba por ser transversal à sua grande maioria.…”

Globally, the expansion of investments in the field of higher education, which stems from both the demands of the economic sector and the growing appreciation of the social dimension of knowledge, implies mobilization within the scope of access to this level of education. If, on the one hand, access policies play a central role, on the other hand, the interactions of individuals in the different environments of which they are part cannot be disregarded. The aim of this paper, from a socio-ecological perspective, was to analyse the movements of access to higher education in Portugal from 1960 to 2017. The interpretation of data on access and legislation on higher education in that period, in relation to the literature review outcomes, made it possible to identify moments of expansion and retraction of access to higher education in Portugal. It was at the confluence of a set of more or less favorable factors that the distinct movements of access originated over time. This confluence of factors led individuals to shape and reshape their aspirations concerning their entry to higher education.
