Abstract

In the last twenty years, the goal of developing the social dimension of Higher Education has been part of the wider effort many universities around the world have undertaken to improve and diversify tertiary education through strategic change. However, the recent shift towards a global, highly competitive and market-oriented university system has put growing pressure on academic centres concerning the expansion and differentiation of the research and teaching offered. New forms of organisation have been generated to address these demands, leading to rapid merging or splitting of academic departments, as well as to the establishment of new providers. This process affects the diversity of each university with regard to specific knowledge profiles; teaching, learning and problem-solving styles; and, more generally, the institutional mission, governance and inner culture. The diversification of the student population is an important component at this level, as the success of education programmes offered in most of Higher Education is linked to the ability to provide teaching activities that address learners from diverse backgrounds. The chapter examines what are the consequences of the modernisation and change of the tertiary education sector for the implementation of programmes aimed to foster the inclusion of underprivileged students in Higher Education.
