FERREIRA, NARA TORRECILHA. RACIAL INEQUALITY AND EDUCATION: AN STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTIONS IN HIGHER EDUCATION. Educ. rev. [online]. 2020, vol.36, e227734.  Epub Nov 08, 2020. ISSN 1982-6621.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0102-4698227734.

From the 2000s, affirmative policies began to be implemented in brazilian higher education, aiming to increase access to the black population at this level of education and the reduction of racial inequalities. The Law nº 12.711/2012 determined the adoption of affirmative policy by all federal institutions of higher education. The present work proposes a reflection about these affirmative policies, aiming to elaborate a critical analysis in relation to their results, answering the question: are the affirmative policies implemented in Brazilian public higher education helping to increase access to the black population? The research used the tracing of affirmative policies implemented and correlation analyzes and multiple linear regression to evaluate the effectiveness of affirmative racial policies, considering the expansion of access to higher education to the black population.

Keywords : Evaluation; effectiveness; Affirmative Actions; Higher Education; racial criteria.
