Abstract

Agenda 2030 has set out the objectives to be met over the next 15 years in order to achieve sustainable devel- opment, among these are those related with education. Education must be a right for all people, as well as being of quality, inclusive, fair and uninterrupted throughout life. This article explains the objectives of Agenda 2030 related to education, focusing on the right to education and equal opportunities in higher education. To this end, the ARRAKASTA programme promoted by the UPV/EHU is used as a model. This programme seeks the protection and social inclusion of children and adolescents, as well as the entry of young people into university and the successful completion of higher education. This ar- ticle covers the implementation, development and perceptions of the students involved in this program. Participants ’initial perceptions make it clear that this program goes beyond the« shielding »of their higher education, creating expectations, breaking the boundaries of children and adolescents cared for in the protection system, and changing the perspectives, ex- pectations and horizons of different agents, and most importantly, guaranteeing an inclusive education.
