Higher Education in Dynamic Asia No. 4: ACCESS WITHOUT EQUITY? Finding a Better Balance in Higher Education in Asia

Asian Development Bank (adb)

No RPS124558, ADB Reports from Asian Development Bank (ADB)

Abstract: In Asia, the demand for higher education (HE) is on a relentless course in the near and medium term as reflected in current levels of participation. Governments planning to respond to this growth should have policy options to balance costs, sustainability, and ensuring fair and equitable access to HE, including to underrepresented segments of the society. This publication makes a strong case for shifting the development agenda from narrow perspective of access to widening participation and for strengthening inclusiveness in HE in Asia. It also discusses extensively developments in the use and potential of information and communication technologies in the delivery of HE.
