This article discusses free public higher education in Brazil. First, it contextualizes the topic and then systematizes the arguments in favor of charging tuition fees, justifying them in the light of empirical evidence and concepts used to support those arguments. In the same analysis, it presents counterpoints to the arguments raised and briefly discusses ideological and financial interests that call for the end of free public higher education.

Keywords : PRIVATIZATION OF EDUCATION; EDUCATIONAL INEQUALITIES; FREE TEACHING; HIGHER EDUCATION.
