Access, Retention, and Success in Higher Education Around the World
In the world of higher education there is good news and some not so good. First the good: Practically all forecast analyses made by experts, from Unesco to OECD, and also at the national level in most countries, predict that, during the coming decade, worldwide enrollment in higher education will continue to increase, thus benefiting more people than ever. The not so good news is that although the number of higher-education students will increase, unfortunately, it looks as though higher education will remain primarily elitist as it is today.
