The question for the MCO’s third essay competition was:

Ninety-four entries were received from 37 countries and the judges had a hard task to identify the five winners.
Three of the winners will be presenting their essays online and discussing the issues surrounding them. They will also be sharing their experience of the prize, which was participation in the World Access to Higher Education Network meeting and World Access to Higher Education Day conference in Cape Town in October.
