Abstract	"The importance of primary and secondary education as fundamental drivers of empowerment, achievement and inclusion, is widely acknowledged. So is the increasing need for higher education (HE) - education that extends beyond secondary school graduation and that delivers academic, technical or professional instruction - as an essential prerequisite for advancement in contemporary, global society. A single data point from the US provides compelling proof: the gap between the earnings of high school and college graduates doubled between 1980 and 2000 (Kazis, in this volume). Yet access to the benefits of higher education remains particularly skewed in favour of dominant majorities. Little attention has been paid to the impact of this form of educational exclusion on marginalised or otherwise disadvantaged populations, whether they are in the global North or South"--.
