SGUISSARDI, Valdemar  and  SILVA JR., João dos Reis. La forma y los motivos de la expansión de la educación superior pública en Brasil. Rev. educ. sup [online]. 2012, vol.41, n.162, pp.67-86. ISSN 0185-2760.

This paper aims to demonstrate how the expansion of higher education in Brazil has taken place, paying special attention to public higher education in recent decades, when an anomalous acceleration of the federal sector occurred due to the implementation of the REUNI (Restructuring and Expansion of Federal Universities) and the de (Distance Education), through the UAB (Brazil's Open University). As well, arguments are presented that may contribute to hypothesize on the underlying reasons for this expansion.

Keywords : Higher education; Expansion of higher education; Privatization of education; Commercialization of knowledge; Widespread certification.
