The London Communique sets Europe the task of ensuring that our Higher Education systems reflect the diversity of our populations. In this spirit, EQUNET’s first report gives a comparison of the state of equity in access to Higher Education in the EU27 + EEA countries, and of the evolution of the concept and the actual state of diversity in Europe’s Higher Education institutions today. Its indicators tackle:
- entry into Higher Education
- equity as defined by socioeconomic background
- income and expenditure of students in Higher Education
- the effect of work on studies.
The numerical indicators are matched with various examples of practice from around the continent. The report also uses this data to make insights on perceptions of equity from European policymakers, consider the validity of different ways of measuring equity and the validity of current policy-initiatives.
