A utilização da EaD como forma de democratizar o ensino superior no Brasil tem sido discutida por pesquisadores afetos aos mais diversos temas educacionais. Trazemos neste estudo uma breve retomada histórica, demonstrando que os primeiros cursos de ensino superior no Brasil não se destinavam às consideradas classes subalternas. Esse processo histórico fez com que o ensino superior se tornasse algo quase restrito às classes dominantes. Apresentamos a EaD e sua legislação a fim de introduzir também a criação e implementação do Sistema Universidade Aberta do Brasil (UAB), política com vistas à democratização do acesso ao ensino superior. Elencamos alguns autores contrários ao uso da EaD como forma de democratizar o ensino no Brasil. Embora em direções diferentes, os autores contrários ao uso da EaD caminham quase sempre num mesmo viés. Um dos principais argumentos trazidos no bojo de suas argumentações contrárias é de que a EaD estaria servindo apenas aos interesses mercantilistas? preconizados pela reestruturação do aparelho do Estado, operacionalizado principalmente na década de 1990. Tais autores desconsideram os avanços obtidos por meio da EaD, a despeito dos percalços e/ou dificuldades enfrentadas em tal modalidade. Sendo assim, trazemos autores favoráveis à implementação da EaD como política de popularização do ensino, a fim de demonstrar como ela tem sido importante no processo histórico de democratizar o ensino superior em nosso país, ampliando suas vagas, avançando na questão do acesso e, ainda, interiorizando as IES públicas e privadas em praticamente todo o território nacional.Palavras-chave: EaD; Ensino a distância no Brasil; Democratização do ensino superior.The EaD in Brazil and the Process of Democratization of Access to Higher Education: Possible DialoguesAbstractThe use of E-learning as a way to democratize higher education in Brazil has been discussed by researchers concerned about the most diverse educational themes. We bring in this study a brief historic overview showing that the first higher education courses in Brazil were not destined to the classes considered subaltern. This historical process has made higher education to become something almost restricted to the dominant classes. We present E-learning and its legislation in order to introduce also the creation and implementation of Open University System of Brazil (UAB), with aiming the access to higher education democratization. We also mention some authors opposed to use of E-learning as a way to democratize the education in Brazil. Although in different directions, authors opposed to use of E-learning follow the same bias almost always. One of the main arguments is that E-learning was only serving the "mercantilist" interests recommended by the State reconstruction process which took place mainly in the 90s. Such authors disregard the advances obtained by education through E-learning, despite the difficulties faced in such modality. Therefore, we bring authors in favor of E-learning as education democratization policy implementation in order to demonstrate how E-learning has been important in the historical process higher education democratization in our country, increasing their number of vacancies, improving the issue of access and interiorizing the public and private Institutions of Higher Education in almost all the national territory.Keywords: E-learning; Distance education in Brazil; Higher education; Democratization.

Hugo Chavez's clash with Venezuelan higher education is a vivid present-day example of a history of confrontation between leftist, populist regimes and higher education in Latin America. Chavez has transformed the public sector through creation and expansion of new universities. Chavez's policies have alienated the country's private institutions of higher education. Both public and private universities are reduced in importance.

Contextualizado nas políticas educacionais sobre a privatização da educação pública, este artigo de carácter qualitativo discute a privatização e a mercantilização do ensino superior (ES) moçambicano, como parte integrante de um novo acordo global político-ideológico, que valida ou legitima e compele em direção a certas ações- negócio e troca, competição-, anulando e inibindo outras- equidade, justiça social, distribuição igual de propriedade -, valorizando relações de produção privada e suas formas mercantis e “moral utilitária”, no campo e prática educacional. Utilizando-se de dados estatísticos sobre o ES (2018), da literatura sobre o ES e expansão, mercado (Lei 1/93; Neves e Pronko, 2008, Souza, 2015; Marx 1994; BM, 1995; Gonçalves, 2015) o modelo de ES moçambicano atual indica que a corrida às instituições públicas e privadas por parte dos estudantes e a consequente busca por diplomas- formação para o trabalho- secundarizou a procura do conhecimento, motivado pela expansão de acesso, assim como pela busca de cursos voltados para as exigências do mercado, geralmente em regime pós-laboral e especificamente, o ES moçambicano tornou-se em um dos lugares importantes da luta de classes para o consenso, mudando a própria educação, pois os mercados são uma das bases para a formação de grupos que perseguem interesses partilhados.Palavras-chave: Ensino superior; Privatização; Mercantilização da educação, Mercadoria. HIGHER EDUCATION IN MOZAMBIQUE: BETWEEN THE STATE AND THE ASTUCTION OF CAPITAL.Abstract Contextualized in educational policies on the privatization of public education, this qualitative article discusses the privatization and commodification of Mozambican higher education as an integral part of a new global political-ideological agreement that validates or legitimizes and compels to certain actions-business and exchange, competition-, nullifying and inhibiting others- equity, social justice, equal distribution of property, valuing relations of private production and its mercantile forms and "utilitarian morality" in the field and educational practice. Using statistical data on the ES (2018), on the literature on ES and expansion, market (Law 1/93, Neves and Pronko, 2008, Souza, 2015; Marx 1994; BM, 1995; Gonçalves, 2015). model of the current Mozambican ES indicates that the race to the public and private institutions by the students and the consequent search for diplomas - training for the work - secondarily the search of the knowledge, motivated by the expansion of access, as well as the search of courses directed to the market demands, particularly in a post-employment regime and specifically, the Mozambican ES has become one of the important places of the class struggle for consensus, changing education itself, since markets are one of the bases for the formation of groups pursuing shared interests. Keywords: Higher education; Privatization; Mercantilization of Education and Merchandise. EDUCACIÓN SUPERIOR EN MOZAMBIQUE: ENTRE EL ESTADO Y LA ASTÚCIA DEL CAPITAL.Resumen En el marco de las políticas educativas sobre la privatización de la educación pública, este artículo de carácter cualitativo discute la privatización y la mercantilización de la enseñanza superior (ES) mozambiqueña, como parte integrante de un nuevo acuerdo global político-ideológico, que valida o legitima y compite en dirección a ciertas acciones-negocio y cambio, competencia-, anulando e inhibiendo otras equidad, justicia social, distribución igual de propiedad-, valorizando relaciones de producción privada y sus formas mercantiles y "moral utilitaria", en el campo y práctica educativa.

Following the international trend, higher education in Brazil is going through important transformations, including the widening of access and the growth of enrollment numbers. From the beginning of the century the number of enrollments tripled, reaching more than eight million students in 2015. Here we discuss some factors that converged to cause this expansion, and we try to indicate the main challenges of the Brazilian higher education system. We begin with a brief analysis of the federal program of loans for students enrolled in private institutions, and the program for increasing the number of places in public institutions. We then point out, in some detail, the current challenges that the Brazilian higher education system faces: i) maintenance of the pace of growth of enrollments; ii) improvement of efficacy, with a reduction of dropouts and a larger number of graduates; iii) development of access mechanisms; and iv) awareness of the diversity of the offer of post-secondary education in the country. Although these challenges are also present in most of the systems that made a move towards the democratization of access to higher education, in Brazil these challenges are faced in the context of a wide privatization and commodification of this level of education, together with a strong economic and fiscal crisis. Besides that, there is a rather strong valorization of a unique model of higher education based on the research university, which in fact corresponds to a small part of the national system.   How to cite this article: SAMPAIO, Helena; CARNEIRO, Ana Maria; DE ANDRADE, Cibele Yahn; KNOBEL, M.

Although it has one of the less expensive costs of attendance, universal access to higher education in México is still far away from becoming a reality. The federal government along with the public and private educational institutions have implemented different approaches to increase access but the gap among higher and lower strata of the population represented in HEIs seems to be widening. Recently, the federal government proposed to change the Constitution to include higher education as a right and therefore, compulsory. This essay intends to show a brief picture of the state of college access in Mexico as well as the implications of moving to a compulsory system. It ends with a series of recommendations for stakeholders to get involved in addressing the manifold issues pertaining to the state of college access and success in México.
