| Resumen: |
En todo el mundo, la educación superior está experimentando un crecimiento exponencial tanto en la participación de los estudiantes como en los tipos de proveedores educativos. Un fenómeno clave de este crecimiento es el aumento de la diversidad estudiantil: los gobiernos están ampliando el acceso a la educación superior para estudiantes de grupos tradicionalmente subrepresentados. Sin embargo, esto plantea dudas sobre si este rápido crecimiento puede comprometer la calidad académica. Este libro presenta estudios de casos sobre cómo las instituciones de educación superior en diversos paÃses mantienen la excelencia académica al tiempo que aumentan el acceso y la participación de estudiantes de entornos históricamente subrepresentados. Incluyendo estudios de casos que abarcan cuatro continentes, los autores y editores examinan si el aumento de la participación tiene un impacto positivo en la calidad académica. Este volumen será de interés y valor para los estudiantes y académicos de la educación superior global, la representación y participación en la educación y la calidad de la educación superior. |

| Summary : |
Across the world, higher education is witnessing exponential growth in both student participation and types of educational providers. One key phenomenon of this growth is an increase in student diversity: governments are widening access to higher education for students from traditionally underrepresented groups. However, this raises questions about whether this rapid growth may in face compromise academic quality. This book presents case studies of how higher education institutions in diverse countries are maintaining academic excellence while increasing the access and participation of students from historically underrepresented backgrounds. Including case studies spanning four continents, the authors and editors examine whether increasing widening participation positively impacts upon academic quality. This volume will be of interest and value to students and scholars of global higher education, representation and participation in education, and quality in higher education. |
