This study conforms a reference frame on the superior education in Uruguay. We describe the social and academic segmentation on higher education. Later, observes the objective population of the democratization, defining it like those students which at the moment are not entering to higher education. Finally, it approaches the problem of the relation between pedagogy and social level in the students, taking as a reference two complementary approaches of investigation: the theory of the pedagogical speeches of Basil Bernstein and the Perspective on the Effective Schools.
