In this article, we aim to reflect on the influence of international bodies, such as the World Bank (WB), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in public policies for Higher Education in Brazil. The adoption of neoliberal policies began in the 1990s and since then we are seeing a series of changes ranging from the encouragement and proliferation of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as a third sector, to those that are leading us to the privatization of all stages of education, so as to reach higher education. Through a bibliographic and documentary approach, the article carries out a brief reflection on the Master Plan for the Reform of the State Apparatus (BRAZIL, 1995) and the recommendations of the World Bank, IMF and Unesco for Education. Authors such as Netto and Braz (2010), Mészáros (2008), among others, clarify the influence of a public policy based on neoliberal ideas for Education. As examples, we considered Law nº 11,769 of August 2008, which deals with the compulsory teaching of music in Brazilian schools and the offer of this teaching by several NGOs. We note that, in the same way, there are similar discourses in favor of the privatization of Higher Education that use, including, Distance Education (EaD). We conclude that these international agencies tend to maintain advantages to the market to the detriment of human benefits, altering relations between state, market and society.
