| contents | En busca de nuevas explicaciones sobre la relación entre educación y desigualdad. El caso de la Universidad Tecnológica de Nezahualcóyotl Pedro Flores-Crespo Educación freedom functionalism higher education Equal capabilities social opportunities Explaining the relationship between inequality and education fromfunctionalist perspectives runs the risk of failing to discuss howindividuals act within social structures. This article, therefore, proposesutilizing Amartya Senís perspective of human capabilities toexplain the relationship between inequality and higher education inMexico. The Universidad TecnolÛgica de NezahualcÛyotl (UTN)was chosen for study since its graduates acquire a type of capability(or freedom) that allows them to recreate continually, up to a certainpoint, the social formations in which they live. This actioncomprises the first step in reducing inequality. However, to thedegree these young people intervene in their world and chart theirown routes for personal and professional development (with thepurpose of attaining greater well-being), their social and economicopportunities contract. The result is a divided group of professionalswith similar aspirations but different economic levels, and consequentlya new type of inequality. Students with higher incomelevels meet their aspirations more easily than those who face economicrestrictions. And although the UTN contributes substantiallyto reducing unequal capabilities, attention must also be paid to theuniversityís institutional, political and economic setting in order tofurther the understanding of inequality in education. 2002 artículo científico 1405-6666 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=14001606 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=140 Revista Mexicana de Investigación Educativa application/pdf Consejo Mexicano de Investigación Educativa, A.C.
