Through a Glass Darkly? Indigeneity, Information, and the Image of the Peruvian University.

Post, David

Higher Education, v27 n3 p271-95 Apr 1994

Drawing on surveys of Peruvians, a discussion of Peruvian university education looks at how realistic students' expectations of the economic benefits of university attendance are. Differences in perceptions among ethnic groups (Spanish-speaking and Quechua-speaking) were examined, and implications for social integration in such a society are considered. (Author/MSE)
