Abstract
PEDROZA FLORES, René and VILLALOBOS MONROY, Guadalupe. Políticas compensatorias para la equidad de la educación superior en Argentina, Bolivia y Venezuela. Rev. educ. sup [online]. 2009, vol.38, n.152, pp.33-48. ISSN 0185-2760.
This is a study of policies on compensation for higher education followed by Argentina, Bolivia and Venezuela. In particular we describe the care they receive less advantaged groups that stand between the indigenous, afrodescendants, disabled and women. The development of compensatory policies in each country is uneven, however, we found that, overall, progress has been made on legal, political, social and education to overcome the problem of inequity. The sense of justice that prevails in the court of compensatory policy is liberal, with emphasis on equal opportunities from overcoming the unequal conditions. Under this idea there have been various programs designed to assist the above groups. Despite efforts, continues the cycle of inequality that is an extreme lack of educational opportunities and other economic and social constraints that are mutually involved.
Keywords : compensatory policies; equity on education; higher education.
