Social dimension of higher education
IDE promotes improving the social dimension of higher education.
Considering that social inclusion depends vastly on the achieved level of education, eliminating social inequalities in higher education plays an important role in creating an equal opportunity society. A fair and socially inclusive higher education, using different measures, must assure that admission, successful studying and obtaining a degree depend mostly on student competence and not on personal characteristics and living circumstances which students cannot control. IDE promotes improving the social dimension of higher education within a framework set through the definitions given by the official announcements on the Bologna process.
