This paper examines several research questions relating to equality and equity in Chinese higher education via an extended literature review, which in turn sheds light on evolving scholarly explorations into this theme. First, in the post-massification era, has the Chinese situation of equality and equity in higher education improved or deteriorated since the late 1990s? Second, what are the core issues with respect to equality and equity in Chinese higher education? Third, how have those core issues evolved or changed over time and what does the evolution indicate and entail? Methodologically, this paper uses a bibliometric analysis to detect the topical hotspots in scholarly literature and their changes over time. The study then investigates each of those topical terrains against their temporal contexts in order to gain insights into the core issues. (China Q/GIGA)

This study aims to understand the perceptions of the tuition fees charging in Canada and China and the perspectives of this practice in Brazil, which is a country where society requires access to quality higher education,but which faces large budgetary constraints on its public funding. To understand these questions, a qualitative exploratory multi-case study was carried out with government officials, specialists in higher education, and student leadership from all three countries. In conclusion to this analysis, and considering the benefits provided by the Canadian and Chinese participants, it is suggested for Brazil to perform a reflection on this subject. The study shows that such an initiative can boost public higher education institutions through greater financial availability and democratize access and permanence, as there would be more resources to invest and assist students from underrepresented groups participating in the system. ; Este estudo tem como objetivo compreender as percepções da cobrança de taxas acadêmicas no Canadá e na China e as perspectivas desta prática no Brasil, que é um país em que a sociedade almeja acesso a um ensino superior de qualidade, mas que enfrenta grandes restrições orçamentárias em seu financiamento público. Para entender essas questões, realizouse um estudo multicaso, exploratório e qualitativo com dirigentes governamentais, especialistas em educação superior e líderes estudantis dos três países. Em conclusão a partir da análise dos dados, e considerando os benefícios relatados pelos participantes canadenses e chineses, sugere-se ao Brasil que realize uma reflexão sobre esse assunto. O estudo demonstra que uma iniciativa desta natureza pode impulsionar as instituições públicas de ensino superior através de uma maior disponibilidade financeira e democratizar o acesso e a permanência, pois se teriam mais recursos para investir e auxiliar estudantes de grupos sub-representados que participam do sistema.
