We argue that women's demand for education is actively shaping new futures, opening new pathways toward educat…
Persistence, retention, and interruption in higher education among Peruvian scholarship students in a context of emergency remote learning
In Latin America, higher education inequality disproportionately affects individuals from low socioeconomic backgrounds, and Peru is no exception.
