Resumo
O artigo discute a problemática da democratização do acesso ao ensino superior
no contexto de crise globalizada e da situação de indefinições, particularizando
o caso do Brasil. Com base em argumentos analíticos, dados empíricos e no
programa brasileiro de Reestruturação e Expansão das Universidades Federais
(REUNI), questiona se a recente expansão do ensino superior brasileiro vem
conseguindo modificar o cenário de elitização desse ensino, detendo-se no
caso específico da Universidade Federal da Paraíba. Considera que as ações
voltadas para incluir um maior número de pessoas no ensino superior podem
fortalecer tanto os ideais democráticos como os processos de crescimento e
desenvolvimento econômico e social do Brasil, possibilitando a construção
de novos relatos históricos e transformando a instituição educacional e a
sociedade.
The article discusses the question of the democratization of access to higher education in the context of the global crisis and of the situation of indefinitions, with special reference to Brazil. On the basis of analytical arguments, empirical data and the Brazilian Programme for the Restructuring and Expansion of Federal Universities (REUNI), it questions if the recent expansion of Brazilian higher education has managed to modify the elitist nature of this level of education, paying specific attention to the case of the Federal University of Paraiba. It considers that in a contradictory way those actions directed at including a greater number of people in higher education can strengthen both the democratic ideals and the processes of economic and social growth and development in Brazil, making possible the construction of new historical reports and transforming the educational institution and society.
