MANCEBO, Deise. The coup of 2016 and the impacts on Brazilian higher education. Rev. Educ. Questão [online]. 2018, vol.56, n.49, pp.62-84. ISSN 1981-1802.  https://doi.org/10.21680/1981-1802.2018v56n49ID14477.

The article discusses the main impacts of the complex Brazilian context on higher education policies, with special emphasis on the economic and political events that took place after the coup of 2016. It is an exploratory nature study and its construction is based on bibliographic research, in documentary analysis of problems necessary to understand the topic, in consulting the relevant legislation and in the collection and discussion of existing statistics, adopting, therefore, a perspective of analysis that combines quantitative and qualitative aspects. Its development occurs in two moments: (1) a brief discussion of the complex economic and political conjuncture in which the country is involved, considering the return of a strong conservative offensive and (2) an analysis of higher education in this context, subdivided, in turn, into the differentiated impacts that can be observed in the public network and in the private-commercial network. It concludes by enumerating some challenges for overcoming the current situation and for the defense of public education.

Keywords : Coup of 2016; Policies of higher education; Public education; Private education.
