Abstract

Although Access to Higher education has increased significantly in most countries, these opportunities have not been equally distributed among different groups in many cases. The current research intended to analyze how indigenous selection in national entrance exams reproduces inequality in Access to Higher education. The research method was descriptive-analytical. The research data was based on the statistics collected and published by the organizations related to the population or student admission, which were analyzed by the secondary analysis method. The findings indicated that the policy of indigenous selection was unsuccessful in increasing the Access chances of deprived Provinces. The Provinces with the highest and the lowest Access chances maintained their position without any changes during the 5-year study period in the present research. In addition, in many Provinces, the academic level of candidates was not a determining factor in their acceptance; in the national entrance exam of 2016, Kurdistan and Gilan Provinces candidates' academic ranks were 10 and 22 while their ranks in the final admission changed to 27 and 6, respectively. Finally, the Indigenous selection policy in the three most popular fields of medicine did not lead to a fair distribution of opportunity but reproduced inequality significantly. In some cases, the acceptance chance of indigenous candidates in their Provinces was eight times that of the indigenous candidates of other Provinces.
