Equity, Lifelong learning, The Bologna DeclarationAbstract
Against the background of a globalized economy, higher education faces a series of problems in most countries. In Portugal, decisions on higher education are still influenced by the European Union. In this article three problems have been selected: equity, lifelong learning and the implications of the Bologna Declaration for Higher Education. From this study it can be concluded, that despite the democratization process that Portugal has been experiencing since the April 1974 Revolution, its higher education still continues to be an education for the elite; that the experience called The over 23s, whose aim was to bring new categories of people into higher education, has not had the expected results; and finally, that the implementation of the Bologna Declaration has brought new problems, namely those involving equity.Downloads
