“…2.1 Educational policy: the principles of access, quality and accountability Access, quality and accountability are key principles for evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of educational policies (Jenkins and Rodríguez, 2013). For Heller (2001), including affordability, guaranteeing these principles is the biggest challenge that higher education needs to face and deserves the full attention of public policies (Mangione et al, 2015).…”

Purpose Canada is a country that has a democratized higher education system, based on solid principles of access, quality and accountability. Brazil, on the other hand, is a country that seeks to advance its higher education system. For this reason, this paper aims to understand with the main stakeholders of the systems, the perceptions in relation to higher education in terms of access, quality and accountability, confronting two educational systems, the Brazilian and the Canadian. Design/methodology/approach The author applied an exploratory and qualitative method through categorical content analysis in a multicase study. Data were collected through 10 interviews with government managers, 18 unstructured (open) questionnaires, where 13 were applied to professors and experts in higher education and four to student leaders. Findings The results demonstrate that, for Canadian participants, these principles should guide any nation, as it is something demanded by society itself: democratic access to the system, that the available system has quality and that the resources allocated to the system are being well applied. In addition, Brazilian participants understand that it is necessary to deepen this debate, including a new principle: permanence, as it is a country of traditional social inequality. Originality/value This study presented the perceptions of an educational system based on the principles of access, quality and accountability, the Canadian system and the perspectives for a system that intends to develop in this context in Brazil.

“…Programs will also have to consider the challenges students face when accessing education and completing pre-requisite coursework at community colleges and less prestigious institutions, as many students are also faced with trying to balance taking care of the basic needs of their family as they address competing priorities of work and school. 8 Students may have one or more characteristics associated with lower levels of academic preparedness including pre-requisite institution, GPAs (including cumulative and course specific), degree completion status, and standardized test scores. 9 Other markers may be related to background, including socioeconomic status, first generation college student (or professional student), rural location, and English as a second language.…”

As pharmacy programs use holistic approaches to admissions, changes will emerge in the quantity and quality of the student applicant pool. Several programs have stopped the Pharmacy College Admissions Test (PCAT) requirement, modified pre-requisite coursework, and reduced minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) requirements. In alignment with their unique mission, values, and vision statements, programs have also expanded aspects of their application and review process to increasingly focus on leadership skills, community service, teamwork, collaboration, and paid and volunteer experiences beyond academic performance emphasizing skills and affective domain areas aligned with the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) Standards and the Center for the Advancement of Pharmacy Education (CAPE) Outcomes. Herein, we will discuss how pharmacy schools and colleges can refine their admissions interview processes in alignment with their unique curricular and programmatic niche areas of distinction.
