Implementation of Education Affirmation Policies in World Universities

Abstract

Affirmative action policies for college admissions are common practice throughout the world to reduce discrimination by providing access to educational opportunities that would otherwise be unavailable to individuals from disadvantaged groups. This study aims to determine the implementation of educational affirmation policies around the world, by collecting articles from various sources. The data were analyzed using the Nvivo 12 application. The results showed that the implementation of affirmation policies in the world is very diverse. Various countries are implementing educational affirmations because of protests, riots, and for justice. The implementation preferences also vary, consisting of the quality of graduates, job readiness, and the choice of majors available. The impact of the affirmative policy received a positive, negative response, and a combination of both. The targets of the educational affirmation policy are minorities, African students, African-American students, and Asian students. The advantage of this research is that it focuses on a netnographic approach because netnography usually focuses on social problems, but this research focuses on policy. The drawback of this study is that the number of data selected is only 30, but it is hoped that further research can collect more data.
