This article examines the role of the Pré-Vestibular Social (PVS - Social SAT preparation classes), used by the Fundação Centro de Ciências e Educação Superior a Distância do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (Cecierj) for educational inclusion in the set of affirmative action policies seeking the democratization of the low-income population entry in higher education. Revisiting the literature on the subject and, through the analysis of the PVS and the profile of the students, we discuss the problems related to the conditions of the mobility of low income population and to the unequal distribution of assets and services in the territory, highlighting them as some of the main challenges posed to the reach of the PVS’s higher purpose. Despite the obstacles, the results achieved point to the increase of university admission rates for low income people and for students originating from the interior of Rio de Janeiro State.
