RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – In 2018, for the first time, black students (black or mulatto) constituted a majority – 50.3 percent – of all students enrolled in Brazil’s public higher education institutions.
The data is included in the Social Inequalities by Color or Race study, released on Wednesday, November 13th, by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE).
The mark was achieved despite the lower secondary and higher education completion rates recorded among blacks.
