Resumen

GIOLO, JAIME. Distance Education in Brazil: the vertiginous expansion. Revista Brasileira de Política e Administração da Educação [online]. 2018, vol.34, n.1, pp.73-97. ISSN 2447-4193.  https://doi.org/10.21573/vol34n12018.82465.

This study analyzes the trajectory of distance education in Brazil, by using data from the Higher Education Census of INEP. These data show how distance education has expanded rapidly, driven by the private enterprise, which now holds more than 90% of enrollments. Distance education aims at the popular segments of Brazilian society and, therefore, offers cheap, short and low-quality courses and focuses on the areas of teacher training, administration and social service. In these areas, distance education is creating serious problems for classroom courses, and may even make them unfeasible over the years. In this sense, this work constitutes an alert about the dilemmas that distance education is producing in Brazil.

Palabras clave : distance education; higher education; privatization of education.
