Fundo de financiamento ao estudante do ensino superior (FIES): neoliberalismo e subsídio federal durante os governos do partido dos trabalhadores

Abstract

The objective of this study is to show that the immense amount of public funds transferred to the private sector, through the Federal Government's FIES - Higher Education Student Financing Fund, without any type of control, with no requirement for quality training and without a demand for an adequate social return, which only generated abusive profits for education investment groups. These resources could be applied in investments for public Higher Education Institutions in Brazil, which have a higher quality of alumni, especially when compared to most Higher Education Institutions in the private area, with a greater number of vacancies, better working conditions and better training of education professionals. As a result, we will have a higher quality of education in the country. The research consisted of collecting data empirically collected from primary sources, in articles and books that discussed the object and its related characteristics. All aspects relating to the object of the thesis, political, educational and statistical, were also researched and considered. References in the field of education, sociology, history and pedagogy were also extremely important for the analysis of our object.
