This paper aims to present the essential basis for an effective higher education reform. The strategies chosen by the authors to develop and to construct their proposals are based on studies of evolution and special features of the Brazilian Higher Education System. By analyzing this special and highly complex system the authors could conclude that in order to fit the challenges which emerge from the knowledge society the higher education system reform adjusted to a country like Brazil has to be reorganized in order to present solutions to three main questions: the system modernization, the improvement of the quality of the whole brazilian education system and the promotion of social inclusion through the access democratization.

Keywords : Brazilian Higher Education; University Reform; Higher Education Reform; Brazilian System of Higher Education.
