La formación de posgrado es fundamental para el desarrollo profesional, la innovación en la investigación y el desarrollo nacional. Sin embargo, el acceso a estas oportunidades sigue siendo desigual, especialmente entre los grupos subrepresentados y marginados. A pesar de los esfuerzos internacionales por fomentar la inclusión, persisten las brechas de equidad en la matriculación y graduación de posgrado. El presente estudio investiga los determinantes del acceso a la educación de posgrado y ofrece recomendaciones para mejorar la equidad, en consonancia con el Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible 4 (Educación de Calidad). Se utilizó un diseño de métodos mixtos, combinando las respuestas de una encuesta a 100 estudiantes de posgrado con entrevistas cualitativas a 20 administradores académicos de instituciones de educación superior seleccionadas intencionadamente en Filipinas. La evidencia indicó que los requisitos financieros, la ubicación geográfica, el desconocimiento de las oportunidades y las barreras institucionales limitan considerablemente el acceso. Si bien las universidades ofrecen becas y modalidades de aprendizaje flexibles, su alcance es limitado y su disponibilidad es desigual. Los administradores también mencionaron la dificultad de equilibrar los recursos institucionales y las diversas necesidades estudiantiles, incluyendo a profesionales en activo y estudiantes de zonas rurales. La investigación enfatiza la importancia de las políticas inclusivas, la asistencia financiera específica, la infraestructura para el aprendizaje a distancia y las alianzas con organizaciones comunitarias para aumentar el acceso. Dicha equidad solo puede lograrse mediante un esfuerzo conjunto del gobierno, la academia y la industria para fomentar un aprendizaje permanente sostenible e inclusivo. Este estudio contribuye al debate sobre la justicia educativa y presenta recomendaciones prácticas para ampliar la participación en la educación superior.
