Schooling and access to higher education increase in 9 years

The average schooling level of the population aged 25 years and over increased between 2004 and 2013, changing from 6.4 to 7.7 years. This increase was more intense among those 20% with the lowest earnings, who increased the number of years at school from 3.7 to 5.4. Between 2004 and 2013, the proportion of persons aged between 25 and 34 years with higher education almost doubled, changing from 8.1% to 15.2%. However, the percentage was still low compared with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries.

In the same period, the students with the 20% highest earnings (5th fifth) were no longer the majority both in the public (38.8%) and private (43.0%) universities, thus causing the increase in the access to this level of education by other earnings strata, including the poorer. In 2004, only 1.4% of students of higher education belonging to the 20% lowest earnings (1st fifth) attended public universities. In 2013, this proportion reached 7.2%. On the other hand, the students in the regular primary school aged between 13 and 16 years belonging to the poorest fifth registered an age-grade distortion 3.3 times higher than those 20% richest (5th fifth), causing the school lag to affect more than half of these students (54.0%) in 2013. In 2004, the distance between the rates for the first and 5th fifth was even bigger (4.3 times).
