O IGC considera aspectos relacionados à infraestrutura, recursos didáticos e corpo docente, sendo divulgado anualmente pelo Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (INEP). A julgar pelas repercussões decorrentes de sua divulgação em 2008, o IGC tornou-se um potencial e polêmico instrumento de marketing e de influência na formação de opinião pública. Em função disso, é importante não só compreender adequadamente a composição desse indicador, mas igualmente identificar formas de como uma IES pode melhorá-lo. Este artigo enfoca esses dois aspectos, aportando contribuições na discussão sobre o IGC e sobre o Sistema Nacional de Avaliação da Educação Superior (Sinaes).]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[The General Index for Programs (IGC) is an indicator adopted in Brazilian higher education that seeks to express in a single number, the quality of all undergraduate, master's and doctorate programs in a higher education institution (IES). The IGC is based on aspects related to infrastructure, teaching resources and faculty, and is published annually by the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anisio Teixeira (INEP). Considering the effects arising from its results in 2008, the IGC has become a potential and controversial marketing tool to influence public opinion. Thus, it is important not only to properly understand the composition of this indicator, but also to identify how an IES could improve it. This article focuses on these two aspects, providing contributions in the discussion on the IGC and the National Higher Education Evaluation System (Sinaes).]]></p></abstract>
