Latin America must raise fees to help poor
Article Abstract:
There is a serious shortage of funding for higher education in Latin America. Many universities lack advanced facilities, while there has been a significant fall in salaries for academic staff. Budgets are extremely inflexible, and student graduation rates are low. The competitive examinations for university admission generally exclude applicants from poor socio-economic backgrounds. The public subsidy to higher education has brought most benefits for students from middle and high-income families.
