Abstract

JEZINE, Edineide  and  SANTOS, Jailson Batista dos. The dynamics of access to Brazilian higher education: from public to private. J. Pol. Educ-s [online]. 2019, vol.13, e64492.  Epub July 18, 2022. ISSN 1981-1969.  https://doi.org/10.5380/jpe.v13i0.64492.

The objective of this article is to discuss the relation between public and private in the scope of the Brazilian Higher Education Institutions (IES), based on the description of the number of institutions, entrants, vacancies and number of enrollments in Brazil, Northeast and Paraíba, considering the impacts generated by the public policies of access to higher education in the neoliberal context. We base the discussion on data from Inep (2010-2017) and on research developed by the Grupo de Estudos e Pesquisas em Educação Superior e Sociedade (GEPESS/UFPB) (CASTELO BRANCO; JEZINE; NAKAMURA, 2015). The results show that the expansion process of Brazilian IES shows a significant increase in enrollments in the private sector of education at the national, regional and local levels. Such growth represents the impacts of access policies that, over the years, have reinforced the private sector's supremacy over the public sector, following the logic of the neoliberal project.
