This article addresses the tensions between expansion and social inequalities in access to higher education in Mozambique. The study was based on a bibliographic and documentary review based on official documents and statistical data from the Government. The analyses reveal that the number of school staff has increased, but this does not mean that it has favoured the majority of those who are unable to pay. We conclude that with the opening to privatization initiated in the 1990s and 2000, Higher Education had expansion and access based on installing a policy of diversification of funding sources urging the contribution of students through payment fees and poor investment hindering the quality desired by higher education institutions.
