ABSTRACT

Multiple competing pressures are presently placed on higher education access and participation. A global trend that seems impossible to reverse is the rise of massification and marketization. This article will make the case that massification effects stratification, breaks up the authority of the elite to some extent, promotes access, and broadens participation by drawing on the experiences of the UK, China, and the USA. Although these factors may have the effect of promoting social equity, if there are too many students enrolled, the perceived value of university degrees and the quality of the education may be diminished. This may have the effect of deterring individuals from lower social classes from attending university, though it can be very challenging to determine the exact number of students who constitute an excessive number. Although there is evidence that the marketization of education has increased access chances, tuition costs are likely to deter those with limited financial resources from enrolling in higher education. The rise in the number of private institutions is mostly a result of this.
