Melanie Walker, Monica McLean, Mikateko Mathebula and Patience Mukwambo investigate what a university education enables students from low-income rural and township backgrounds to achieve. The book draws on research at five South African universities and gives substantial attention to students' accounts of their experiences.
Using a human-development and capability framework, the authors examine access, material resources, learning, agency and the obstacles that continue after admission. They consider outcomes beyond qualifications and employment, including the opportunities students have to develop and participate in different parts of life. The study connects these experiences with questions about higher-education practice.
