Abstract This article analyzes the policy of higher education evaluation developed during the governments of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2010). This is a documentary research which uses legislation and official documents of the period as its main sources of information. We began by showing that Sistema Nacional de Avaliação da Educação Superior (SINAES - National System of Higher Education Evaluation) brought about a change in the prevailing logic of evaluation. To do so, we recovered the course of the creation of SINAES , its implementation and consequences, distinguishing four phases: a) the proposal of a new policy, b) the creation of legislation to promote it, c) the implementation of the law and d) the return to the logic of the previous policy (Provão), with the inclusion of indexes. We have concluded that SINAES attempted to undertake a change in the evaluation logic established since Provão, adding three axes to the evaluation of the system: a) the institutional assessment with self-evaluation, which recovers the paradigm of formative assessment, b) the evaluation of courses and c) the evaluation of students, eliminating Provão but creating a large-scale test with other characteristics - Exame Nacional de Desempenho dos Estudantes (ENADE - National Examination of Student Performance). However, during its implementation, SINAES underwent major changes due to the creation of Conceito Preliminar de Cursos (CPC - Preliminary Concept of Courses) and Índice Geral de Cursos (IGC - General Index of Courses), which were added at the end of the second Lula government. The results of ENADE are the components with the largest weight in SINAES, showing that the logic of regulating the system by the results of a test is still in force.
