BERTOLIN, Julio Cesar Godoy. O (des)governo na expansão da educação superior brasileira: da inoperância do Estado à supremacia da lógica do mercado. Perspectiva [online]. 2013, vol.31, n.03, pp.1043-1063. ISSN 0102-5473.

The Brazilian higher education has experienced a process of significant expansion in the last two decades From the mid-1990s the system began to show strong growth, especially through qualification of new nonuniversity private institutions. This process resulted in a significant increase in quantitative indicators, such as attendance rates, number of undergraduate courses and number of students enrolled. However, the level of alignment of this expansion with the policies of socioeconomic development and with the best interests of society (or market) need to be investigated. This article provides a review of literature on the marketization phenomenon of the higher education, it presents and analyzes aspects and indicators of system expansion and finally demonstrates that private interests are determinants in the development of Brazilian higher education.

Keywords : Higher Education; Expansion of Higher Education; Marketization of Education.
