| description |
Brazil has put significant resources
into developing its higher education system over the past
three decades. As a result, a system has evolved in which
some institutions have achieved recognizable excellence in
teaching and research, while, more generally, the majority
of institutions have struggled to provide relevant, quality
education at reasonable cost. As a whole, the system has a
number of large challenges to overcome. Brazil has a low
enrolment rate in higher education. Rigidities in funding
and regulation create strong disincentives for
cost-efficiency or quality. The quality of instruction and
the relevance of the curriculum are below desirable
standards. The Government of Brazil has a three-pronged
strategy for improving higher education: a) to change the
legal framework for the sector; b) to change to a
performance-based funding system that supports (Ministerio
da Educacao e do Esporto's (MEC) policy goals of
improved access, quality, and efficiency; and c) to improve
capacity for evaluating quality of instruction and
performance of institutions. The challenge is to focus
attention on those changes that will promote the greatest
progress in equitable access, quality, relevance, and
efficiency. In the last section, the report recommends ways
to improve access, quality, and efficiency. |
