SCUDELER, Marcelo Augusto  y  TASSONI, Elvira Cristina Martins. Distance education as an strategy to attract students after the reduction of fies offers. Avaliação (Campinas) [online]. 2023, vol.28, e023007.  Epub 26-Jun-2023. ISSN 1982-5765.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1414-40772023000100007.

While it allowed students to enter and remain in private higher education, FIES (Students Financing Fund) was also a financing tool for this industry, especially in the first half of the 2010s. This article focuses on the consequences of FIES’ progressive reduction from 2015 on, for the education segment, as well as on Distance Education (DE) as a commercial strategy to minimize these impacts in the shrinking of the process of student recruitment. This is a documentary research that intends to show that with the near absence of state public sources of student financing, the continuity of the expansion process and the maintenance of the results of the education companies were made possible by the expansion of DE.

Palabras clave : higher education; Student Financing Fund (Fies); distance education.
