World Access to Higher Education Day
World Access to Higher Education Day is a new day of awareness that aims to bring global attention to inequality in access to higher education and accelerate action.
There is inequality in access to higher education in every country in the world where we have evidence. Higher education is causing inequality when it should be solving it. Progress in tackling the issue is too slow – most European countries failed to even set targets by 2015 despite agreeing to do so in 2009 – and a lack of global networks also makes this problem harder to solve. World Access to Higher Education Day will raise global awareness of the issue and build global links to make sure that inequality in access to higher education is tackled more quickly.
