Higher education: the privilege of the few or the right of the many
"Education should not be managed as a luxury product, nor as a product of convenience, but needs to be treated as a mechanism for improving the country's social conditions, as it can no longer be the privilege of a few, but rather the right of many."
Professor Joana Santos Silva, in an opinion piece for Jornal Económico, addresses the lack of accessibility and social inclusion in higher education in Portugal, emphasising the need to make education more accessible and equitable.
