LIMA FILHO, Domingos Leite. Expansion of higher education and vocational education in Brazil: tensions and perspectives. Rev. Educ. Questão [online]. 2015, vol.51, n.37, pp.195-223. ISSN 1981-1802.  https://doi.org/10.5965/1981180251372016195.

The text analyzes the expansion of higher education and vocational education in Brazil using the methodology of document analysis and literature review, based on theoretical references of historical materialism. Identify the meaning and significance of this movement in the context of neoliberal redefinition of the role of the State. It concludes that educational policies that perform this expansion have elements of continuity that show that the privatization process through the use of public funding and forms of state regulation lead the strengthening of an educational market.

Keywords : Higher education; Professional education; Educational policies.
