A implantação do Reuni na UFF: ampliação de direitos ou precarização do ensino superior?

Abstract

This article aims to discuss some elements present in the transformations of higher education in Brazil, in the context of changes in the capitalist mode of production, from the 1970s. In this new context, higher education is restructured and has suffered the effects of the ideology neoliberal and, consequently, closer approximation to market principles. Among the main changes in this field of education, the article will focus on the elaboration of the Federal University Restructuring and Expansion Plans Support Program - Reuni -, implemented by the Education Development Plan -PDE - in 2007. The Reuni's main objectives were to expand access to higher education in federal universities by expanding campuses, new in-person courses, mainly at night, increasing vacancies and curricular restructuring of undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Key-words: higher education; Reuni; UFF.
