Abstract
AbstractIn the last three decades Brazil’s enrolments grew from approximately 1.5 million to more than 8 million students. Unlike the expansion in the 1990s, when few students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds gained access, the current expansion of Brazilian higher education is changing student profiles. The share of students from lower socioeconomic levels among enrolees and graduates has increased significantly. However, when analysing these changes in terms of the various courses/careers and modes of education present in the Brazilian higher education system, it becomes evident that there are still remnants of an elitist system displaying significant inequity. This chapter shows how the expansion going on in Brazil, despite including new students, does not achieve ‘horizontality’, and instead reproduces inequalities in one of the most unequal societies in the world.
