What have we done in the past two years?

 Inclusion
• SDG 4
• UNESCO Global Education Monitoring
Report 2020
• Inclusion in higher education is
indispensable for both social justice
and talent development reasons
• Research shows that the most
effective equity promotion policies
to increase opportunities for
disadvantaged students at the higher
education level are those that
combine financial aid with measures
to overcome non-monetary
obstacles.
• To overcome non-monetary barriers,
many countries and institutions have
successfully implemented outreach
and bridging programs to secondary
schools, preferential admission
programs, and retention programs to
improve completion rates.
