European higher education: Embracing inclusion and diversity
Education is the cornerstone of a better future, serving as the gateway to opportunities and success.
However, not everyone has equal access to higher education. Student demographics in universities do not mirror the diversity of broader society. Inequities based on socio-economic status, parental education, gender, country of origin, rural background, and other factors persist in our higher education systems.
Promising developments in the European education policy landscape highlight the increasing recognition of the need for equity and inclusivity in education. However, there remains a significant variation between countries and individual universities in the extent and methods used to achieve these goals.
