The aim of this study is to clarify the role of state management mechanisms in ensuring access to and maintenance of education for disadvantaged students. Based on an interdisciplinary approach between law and education management, the study aims to assess the compatibility between the current legal framework and the practices of policies supporting students, while identifying bottlenecks in the implementation process. The study combines a survey of 189 people and semi-structured interviews with 15 people. The results show that, although legal regulations on educational equality have been relatively fully established, implementation is still affected by limitations in management coordination, monitoring mechanisms, and an approach that leans towards administrative support. This study contributes to clarifying the gap between legal design and higher education management practices, thereby proposing policy implications to enhance the coordination, accountability, and effectiveness of state management in promoting educational equality for disadvantaged students.
