The work corresponds to an investigation with an exploratory and analytical approach that began with the study of theories related to equity in education and the educational policies implemented by the federal government in terms of equity to land with a quantitative study of the SUT. An attempt is made to answer the question: In what way has the SUT contributed to reducing situations of educational inequity in groups of young students from the less favored social strata? to assess scope, for now, only with respect to educational inclusion. However, educational equity is a more comprehensive concept that encompasses other dimensions of analysis and not only effective access to higher education, which is why it is proposed in the end to carry out other complementary studies to make a more objective balance. of the results achieved by the SUT.
