- I will never give up… Life stories of mature students in higher educationPublication . Gonçalves, Teresa; Quintas, Helena; Ribeiro, Carlos Miguel; Monteiro, Rute; Bago, Joana; Fonseca, Henrique; Santos, Lucilia; Almeida, António Fragoso de; Krasovec, Sabina Jelenc; Radovan, MarkoThe Portuguese law 64/2006 allows mature students, older than 23, (M23) to access university, widening the participation of adult population in higher education. This paper is part of a research project focused on the experiences of non-traditional students in higher education. In this paper we analyse the stories of four mature students, with the aim to identify their motives for entering higher education; to understand their relationships with younger students; and to identify the main obstacles they face in their academic life.
