暂无分享,去创建一个
In this book, scholars from Western and Eastern Europe, East Asia, Israel, Australia, and the United States assess the links between the mass expansion of higher education and inequality in the national context. Findings were analysed comparatively with each country chapter containing a detailed description of tertiary education and changes and reforms to it over recent decades. Logit regressions of several educational transitions are reported, including eligibility for higher education, entry into higher education, and entry into first-tier higher education. Findings from the research provide evidence of the relationships among institutional expansion, differentiation and privatisation, and the stratification of individual educational opportunity. The chapters are as follows: More inclusion than diversion: expansion, differentiation, and market structure in higher education / Richard Arum, Adam Gamoran, and Yossi Shavit.
