Socioeconomic Background and Higher Education Access

Socioeconomic background influences both the ability to access higher education and the likelihood of completion, often due to financial barriers and limited exposure to advanced educational pathways, affecting opportunities to achieve merit-based advancement.

For example, students from lower-income households may find the costs of tuition and associated expenses prohibitive, affecting their enrollment decisions and persistence to graduation without adequate financial support or scholarships.

Addressing these challenges necessitates exploring strategies to mitigate the effects of socioeconomic disadvantages on learning while promoting individual merit.
