MACEDO, Marconi Neves  and  ARAUJO, Maria Arlete Duarte de. The influence of international bodies on the evaluation of Brazilian higher education. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2022, vol.27, e270091.  Epub Sep 27, 2022. ISSN 1809-449X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1413-24782022270091.

This article aims to analyze how the narratives of international organizations about higher education and its evaluation were absorbed in Brazil with the approval of SINAES. The analysis was made in three sections: the first, analyzes the documents of published international organizations, since 1987, seeking to highlight the concept of higher education and evaluation; the second, discusses the different cycles of evaluation of higher education in Brazil until the emergence and modifications of SINAES; the third shows the alignment of SINAES with the guidelines of international organizations with the incorporation of principles and measures related to the structuring of higher education and its evaluation. The article concludes that the changes incorporated into SINAES, starting in 2017, ended up giving education a treatment of merchandise to the detriment of its right status.

Keywords : international organizations; National Higher Education Assessment System; mercantilization of higher education.
