Abstract

L’enseignement supérieur au Portugal, après la révolution de 1974, s’est démocratisé et massifié, élargissant la diversité du public étudiant. Cet article analyse les mesures de soutien à l’inclusion des étudiants présentes dans les statuts des Institutions d’Enseignement Supérieur (IES) publiques portugaises. L’analyse documentaire de 25 statuts met en évidence des progrès dans la mise en œuvre de ces soutiens. Cependant, des disparités dans la distribution entre les IES soulignent l’influence de l’autonomie institutionnelle et l’absence de législation nationale spécifique pour l’inclusion dans l’enseignement supérieur. Cette lacune juridique permet à chaque IES de développer ses propres statuts, entraînant des variations dans l’offre de ressources pour les étudiants.

La educación superior en Portugal, después de la revolución de 1974, se democratizó y masificó, ampliando la diversidad del público estudiantil. Este artículo analiza las medidas de apoyo a la inclusión de estudiantes presentes en los estatutos de las Instituciones de Enseñanza Superior (IES) públicas portuguesas. El análisis documental de 25 estatutos destaca avances en la implementación de estos apoyos. Sin embargo, disparidades en la distribución entre las IES evidencian la influencia de la autonomía institucional y la ausencia de legislación nacional específica para la inclusión en la educación superior. Esta laguna legal permite que cada IES desarrolle sus propios estatutos, resultando en variaciones en las ofertas de recursos para los/as estudiantes.

Higher education in Portugal, post-1974 revolution, democratized and massified, expanding the diversity of the student body. This article analyses the measures to support student inclusion present in the statutes of Portuguese public Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The documentary analysis of 25 statutes highlights progress in implementing these supports. However, disparities in distribution among HEIs underscore the influence of institutional autonomy and the absence of specific national legislation for inclusion in higher education. This legal gap allows each HEI to develop its own statutes, resulting in variations in the provision of resources for students.
