Quota System and Unesp’s Commitment
Unesp maintains its commitment to inclusion through the Public Basic Education Vacancy Reservation System (SRVEBP). This system reserves 50% of the vacancies in each course for students who attended all of their high school education in public schools.
Within this quota, 35% of the vacancies are directed to self-declared Black, Brown, or Indigenous candidates. Since 2017, this policy has ensured that the majority of new students at Unesp come from public education.
