PEREIRA, Roberto. Ten Points We Need to Discuss and Rethink in Public Graduate Studies. R. Educ. Públ. [online]. 2022, vol.31, e13380. Epub June 29, 2022. ISSN 2238-2097. https://doi.org/10.29286/rep.v31ijan/dez.13380.
Public Graduate Programs in Brazil face the most critical moment in their entire history. More than the lack of funding, we have been systematically attacked, discredited, and persecuted in different social spaces. In this article, I present the scenario we face and indicate ten critical points to be discussed, changed, or overcome in our public graduate programs. Among these points is the need to review understandings about evaluation and production, revisit our norms and regulations, recognize the different identities of the programs, and invest in open science. If we ignore these points, we will continue with a distorted and limiting structure that will not allow us to advance effectively even with improvements in the political and economic scenarios.
