Abstract

BIELSCHOWSKY, CARLOS EDUARDO. Trends of precariousness in private higher education in Brazil. Revista Brasileira de Política e Administração da Educação [online]. 2020, vol.36, n.1, pp.241-271.  Epub July 27, 2020. ISSN 2447-4193.  https://doi.org/10.21573/vol36n12020.99946.

The work analyzes the consequences of the concentration of enrollments in higher education in ten large private groups, with 48.1% of enrollments in this sector in 2018. It shows that the concentration of enrollments has a negative impact in the quality of education, with 49.1% of students in these large groups in courses whose last Enade concept (2016-2018) was insufficient, in the range 1 or 2, against 36.9% for students from all the other 2,000 private HEIs and 15.8% of students from public HEIs. It also shows that this movement leads to greater dropout, with 44.0% of students from the 10 large private groups disconnected from their courses in the first two years of the course, compared with 27.1% of other private HEIs and 22.5% of public HEIs.

Keywords : Higher education; Quality; Dropout; Oligopoly.
