Sistematización de la implementación del sistema de ingreso prioritario de equidad educativa (excupo de equidad) en la carrera de Psicología de la Universidad de Chile 2010-2012

Abstract

This paper describes the implementation of the Equality in Education Admission System (SIPEE for the Spanish acronym) in Psychology at University of Chile (2010 and 2012). It describes and explains both the characteristics of the system and the strategy used by the institution to adapt to diversity. Results (access, achievement, retention) are analyzed according to the way the students are admitted. It observes a reversion of inequalities in access, but not in relation to academic achievement, that takes two years to equalize among the students. Even though young people value the supporting systems provided to teachers and students, they demand improvements in diverse aspects. Finally, it highlights the expansion of this pilot in 2013 to the whole University.
