Abstract
In Latin America and the Caribbean, the data show an extraordinary increase in access to higher education programmes. However, many population groups have been left behind and have seen their right to access to higher education violated. It is essential to monitor progress in terms of inclusion at this level of education, as well as to strengthen and deepen policies and strategies to ensure equal opportunities for access, retention and completion. This document presents an analysis of the evolution of higher education in the region and identifies various national inclusion policies according to the axes described in the document The social inequality matrix in Latin America, prepared by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) (2016).
