Abstract

NEVES, CLÁUDIA. The regulation of education policies in the European Union and the challenges for Distance Education in higher education: a critical perspective and a research proposal. Revista Brasileira de Política e Administração da Educação [online]. 2018, vol.34, n.1, pp.35-52. ISSN 2447-4193.  https://doi.org/10.21573/vol34n12018.82463.

In this article, we seek to systematize some reflections on the political trends for higher education in Europe, and the role that distance education can play in this strategy. We seek to understand the Portuguese government's interpretation of these guidelines and how it regulates distance education in higher education. We end up with a critical reading of the Portuguese policy framework for distance education in higher education, and with a proposal for future development of an investigation that seeks to understand different political positions in different countries of the European Union, regarding the political strategies for distance education, in higher education.

Keywords : distance education; higher education; regulation of educational policies; European Union.
