Abstract

This study analyzes reforms in higher education in Brazil from the 1930s to recent times. This incursion in time shows a movement towards expansion at this level of education, due to educational policies. The tools used herein are bibliographical and documentary research and analysis. While the 1931 and 1968 reforms focused on the expansion of higher education for the elite, the reforms which followed reached expansion rates similar to those of the education-for-all model, brought about by policies for the private and public sectors centered on their management organizations. The study points out that if more efficient social policies are not provided for the public sector there is a risk of intensification of the process of oligopolization and commodification of higher education.
