Many assume that a person’s right to education terminates with high school, and that higher education is a luxury addition. The conversation about education changes in palpable ways once we focus on higher education rather than the education we ordinarily think that citizens are due when they are children and teenagers. We see more talk about competition for university places, standardized testing, and elite admissions. We parse out the differences between the benefits of education for the individual and the burdens of public financial support for such an education.

Table contents:

1. Values and Aims of Higher Education

2. Citizenship as an Aim of Higher Education

3. Adulthood and the Right to Education

4. The Right to Higher Education

5. The Right to Higher Education and Political Authority

6. The Right to Higher Education and the Problem of Unequal Benefits

7. What Should the Right to Higher Education Look Like?
