Brazil's higher education system is characterized by a relatively small public sector, focused on research-intensive universities, and a huge private sector, which has grown continually since the 1970s due to burgeoning demand. The private sector is now dominated by for-profit institutions which, by definition, seek immediate financial gain rather than the long-term public good. In this article, we discuss current trends with respect to for-profit institutions, giving special attention to the recent creation of mega-establishments through a series of mergers involving both national and international investors. We close by warning of some of the negative implications potentially associated with the country’s dependence on for-profit higher education.

The article examines the problems of the labor market from the perspective of employment, the impact on these processes of such global trends in modern economic development as digitalization and globalization. Attention is drawn to the negative trend of employment of a large number of graduates of domestic universities not in their specialty. Special emphasis is placed on the need for the education system to take into account the professional qualification requirements for specialists in the process of their training and retraining.

The article highlights one of the current trends in the development and optimization of modern education – taking into account the characteristics of each of the present generations and the use of such learning tools that reflect and embody these features. We are talking about both the didactic and technological features of the learning process (how to learn and train?), the most sensitive for each of the generations, and the semantic, essential aspects of the learning process (what and why learn and train?) that make the learning process itself relevant, meaningful, promising for each of the generations, not formally required. The result of such an approach to optimizing the learning process is to increase the effectiveness of both the learning process and the education system as a whole in each specific historical period in the development of society. Yes, of course, what is the modern Teacher and the modern Pupil today?
