“…Although Brazil spends an above-average percentage of its gross domestic product (GDP) on education, spending per student on primary to upper secondary levels is well below the OECD average (OECD, 2019). However, indicator 17 is related to the improvement of access to education, and there have been massive investments in new universities, technical and professional schools over the last decade (Almeida et al, 2020). From indicator 19, diesel is the usual fuel used in buses and trucks in Brazil, and the price has become more expensive due to the increase in the US Dollar concerning the Brazilian Real in recent years (Hillier & Loncan, 2019).…”

This paper aims to propose indicators to measure Brazilian transport systems' impact on meeting the 2030 Agenda and to analyze advances of Brazilian transport systems in terms of sustainable development over the last decade. The proposed indicators were based on a literature review and data availability. Time series data (2010-2019) were obtained to analyze the situation of Brazil. From 27 proposed indicators, only 12 showed some evolution based on the before-after method, relating to improvements in cleaner transport modes, such as railways and waterways, in exclusive lanes for public transport, and in improving active transport infrastructure. This scenario presents Brazil's challenges over the next ten years to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals proposed by the 2030 Agenda. Results reinforce the importance of the transport sector to contribute to the world's sustainable development. Therefore, this paper contributes to improving the analysis hereafter of this thematic.

“…Os desafios permanecem para elevar as taxas de matrícula bruta e líquida em algumas regiões do país, bem como para aumentar a proporção de professores mestres e doutores, o que se torna mais complexo no contexto de crise econômica, restrições orçamentárias e altas taxas de desemprego por que passa o país. Outros desafios incluem a retenção dos estudantes do sistema, reduzindo as taxas de evasão (LIMA JUNIOR et al, 2019) e a inserção efetiva dos egressos do mercado de trabalho (ALMEIDA et al, 2020).…”

Resumo Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar o papel que os governos no Brasil têm desempenhado na condução de políticas de Educação Superior, tomando como referência uma tipologia que estabelece quatro modos de governança para a este tipo de Educação: o hierárquico, o procedimental, a condução a distância e a autogovernança. Além disso, considera três diferentes fases do Estado avaliador, para analisar o seu grau de autonomia frente aos organismos internacionais. Com base no referencial teórico adotado, conduz-se um estudo de caso do sistema de Educação Superior brasileiro, no período de 1995 a 2017, por meio de pesquisa documental e análise de conteúdo. Os resultados indicam que o modo de governança das políticas de Educação Superior no Brasil é, predominantemente, de condução a distância, com traços do modo hierárquico. Além disso, evidencia-se que o Estado mantém relativa autonomia frente aos organismos internacionais, dando sinais de aproximação com a Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Econômico.

“…The expansion of the federal undergraduate system in Brazil (Sales et al, 2019) and the expansion of the private sector (Balbachevsky et al, 2019) means that there is an increased number of students, even though there may be a correlated issue on quality that needs to be addressed (Almeida et al, 2020;Costa, 2022). In Ethiopia, Akalu (2014) highlighted that higher education expansion has placed undue pressure on quality enhancement and autonomy of universities.…”

Considerations for continued expansion of the Brazilian post-graduate system

et al. 2023

The number of programs and students in the Brazilian postgraduate system has doubled in the last 10 years. This has implications for the quality and financing of these programs as well as for the development of the regions where they are set. This study aims to investigate the reasons and limitations for the continued expansion of the Brazilian postgraduate system. Data (2011 to 2020) for this study came from: (i) the “Sucupira” postgraduate database from the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES), (ii) Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (INEP), (iii) Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), (iv) InCites® and Web of Science data, and (v) questionnaire and meetings with the deans for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Brazil. Data analyses included regression over time, frequency chi-square, and correspondence analyses. Different types of institutions in different regions showed varying opinions, with higher expectations for expansion in smaller, newer institutions, especially private ones. While the HEIs in the Northern region believe that the master’s degree is to correct undergraduate flaws, the HEIs in the South and Central regions and the community believe that the master’s degree should develop professional skills. In contrast, the larger HEIs with older postgraduate programs in all regions believe in direct doctorate strategy. The reasons for creating new post-graduate programs involved following the institution’s general guidelines for private and community HEIs and granting the lecturers’ wishes or constant expansion depending on region, North, Northeast, and Central regions, as well as for creating medium-sized state universities. State-of-the-art research or the interests of society were prevalent for the largest and oldest HEIs. Continued expansion of the Brazilian postgraduate system needs to take into account factors including the demand for the program, regionalization, the quality of the programs, the means of funding, and the student vacancies existing in programs with high grades, among other challenges.
