In the past two decades, countries in
Latin America and the Caribbean (LCR) liberalized their
economy. Together with technological advances and increased
globalization, this policy has increased demand for
knowledge and workers with tertiary education. LCR
governments also have increased investments in education in
the last two decades, for children of low-income families.
As a result, graduation rates of primary and secondary
education improved significantly. This increased the demand
for tertiary education. As a consequence, the rate of
enrollment in tertiary education in LCR has increased
annually by 2 percent since 1985. In LCR countries, such as
Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, public and
non-governmental universities expanded and diversified to
absorb some of the increased pool of qualified students from
secondary education. However, LCR countries continue to
trail high-income countries in terms of enrollment. In 2003,
the tertiary education enrollment rate in high-income
countries was about 62 percent compared to 26 percent for
LCR countries. The goal of a recently released Working Paper
is to estimate affordability and accessibility of tertiary
education in selected Latin American countries. This seeks
to provide more objective information for policymakers.
Also, the analysis enables us to better understand the
impact of student assistance policies for increased enrollment. |
