Este texto tem como objetivo central expor o estudo desenvolvido sobre a Kroton Educacional S.A., de 2007 a 2012, tendo em conta a notável expansão do ensino superior no setor privado com finalidades lucrativas, nas quase duas últimas décadas, imersa num processo mais amplo de financeirização do capital, que encontrou maiores incentivos a partir do final dos anos de 1960, em especial, nos países centrais. A escolha do referencial de análise se deu pela abordagem qualitativa, por meio do estudo da legislação pertinente ao assunto, da bibliografia associada ao tema, além dos exercícios sociais da companhia, no período delimitado. Observou-se como as novas estratégias de gestão corporativa da empresa, bem como certos incentivos governamentais permitiram seu importante crescimento. Com as metas da Kroton Educacional S.A. para sua valorização em curto prazo, sobretudo no mercado acionário, estreitaram-se os laços entre educação e mercadoria.Palavras-chave: Financeirização do capital.

The choice of analytical reference was based on the qualitative approach, through the study of relevant legislation, the bibliography associated with the topic, and the company's fiscal years, within the defined period. It was observed how the company's new corporate management strategies as well as certain government incentives allowed its important growth. With the goals of Kroton Educacional S.A. for its short-term appreciation, especially in the stock market, the ties between education and merchandise were tightened.Keywords: financialization of capital.

Sobre Todo

Con efectos desde el 1 de enero de 2015, la última reforma de la Ley Fundamental de Bonn ha dado una nueva redacción al párrafo 1 del artículo 91b LFB donde se regulan las relaciones entre la Federación y los Länder en materia de fomento de la investigación científica. El nuevo precepto ha pretendido resolver las graves consecuencias que había generado la redacción que le dio al mismo la gran reforma federal de 2006. Con ello, la reforma de 2014 constituye la respuesta al debate abierto en la última década en Alemania sobre la necesidad de suprimir una regulación que impedía a la Federación participar financieramente junto a los Länder en instituciones de investigación de los centros de enseñanza superior y, en particular, de las Universidades. En este artículo, se analiza el alcance de esta nueva regulación que ha abierto notables expectativas sobre todo respecto a la mejora de la financiación de dichos centros, pero también interrogantes que deberán concretarse en la práctica.Effective as of January 1 2015, the latest reform of the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany has redrafted Paragraph 1 of Article 91b of the Basic Law, which regulates the relationships between the Federation and the Länder regarding the promotion of scientific research. The new provision has sought to resolve the serious consequences created by the wording given to same by the great federal reform of 2006. The 2014 reform thus constitutes the response to the open debate in the last decade in Germany on the need to remove a regulation which prevented the Federation from participating financially alongside the Länder in research institutions of higher education establishments and of the Universities in particular. This Article analyses the scope of this new regulation, which has raised significant expectations for improved funding for these establishments, but also questions that will need to be specified in practice.

The Government

Among many issues facing private higher education (PHE) in Vietnam, governance tensions and irrelevant government policy are widely considered as the most pressing ones. They are impediments to survival and development of private universities. In order to provide most reliable and viable recommendations, the researcher conducted a qualitative multi-site case study with the instrumentation of in-depth semi-structured interviews and document analysis to explore each issue and trace the fundamental causes from legislation. The internal governance tension emerged from conflicting viewpoints among members of the board of directors and president about whether to run their institutions as not-for-profit or for-profit. Misleading legislation has resulted in this tension and confusion in the conceptions of the two categories in practice. The external governance tension was found in the relationship between the government and individual institutions. There have been many complaints about impractical, irrational, inconsistent, and fluctuating legislation governing private institutions. Educational policy was also problematic with its limited resources and unequal treatment toward PHE.

Dramatic Growth

The dramatic growth of private higher education (PHE) in France, including a significant for-profit component, clashes with traditional notions of an omnipotent state ruling over higher education. But in fact the post-Napoleonic state has generally been accepting of the private educational sector, which has evolved from a religious to a markedly commercial orientation.

Cross Border

Distinctions between the three sectors of education -- public, private non-profit, and for-profit -- are often difficult to draw. While certain legally-mandated financial standards divide them, domestic and foreign for-profit institutions may look and behave like private non-profit institutions. Further complicating the equation are cross-border partnerships between these sectors.

The Egyptian Revolution comes amid a period of national and general regional growth of private higher education. Indeed, the Middle East is the last region to establish the private sector across the breadth of its countries. Apart from a few precursors such as the American University in Cairo, the private sector is basically a creation of the last two decades, and its share in Egypt is still small, though it is growing. On the one hand, the new minister says private universities should be distinctive, not "duplicating" public ones and thus offering new programs: on the other hand regulations about access cannot be ruled out nor can caps on the amount of tuition rises. Already evident is a public policy orientation to discourage for-profit private higher education.

The one-sided focus of Christian higher education in South Africa on the field of theology and the lack of integrating faith and learning in other subjects emphasizes the need for a Christian university in South Africa. The question addressed in this article is whether a Christian university can also be for-profit, considering the fact that all Christian private higher education institutions in South Africa are non-profit. There are numerous criticisms against for-profit higher education institutions. The greatest of these are that for-profit private higher education institutions miss the purpose of what it means to be a university and that profitable higher education institutions exploit students. The church also has numerous criticisms of the profit motive, but from the Bible it is clear that there are two lines of thought regarding profit. The one is that profit is dangerous and that it easily becomes an idol; the other is that people are called to be profitable. This article concludes that there is room for a for-profit Christian higher education institution in South Africa. This for-profit Christian higher education institution should be imagined in terms of its understanding of profit regarding its mission, students, faculty and governance.

Education In Brazil

For-profit private higher education in Brazil emerged in the 1970s through state incentives such as educational credit and tax exemptions. In its most recent configuration, the logic of investment funds that trade on the stock exchange controls the largest institutions. The management of investment funds inserts a new variable into the investment of financial resources. It requires reducing costs to maximize shareholder value, but this means delivering precarious educational quality. Governed by a logic of maximum profit, for-profit private higher education in Brazil produces extremely poor education, with the result that most such institutions focus on simply being diploma factories for more socially destitute students O ensino superior privado com fins lucrativos no Brasil surgiu na década de 1970 por meio de incentivos estatais, tais como crédito educacional e isenção de impostos. Na sua configuração mais recente, a lógica dos fundos de investimento que negociam em bolsa controla as maiores instituições. A gestão de fundos de investimento insere uma nova variável na aplicação dos recursos financeiros. Requer redução de custos para maximizar o valor para o acionista, mas isso significa a entrega de um nível educacional bastante precário. Regido por uma lógica de lucro máximo, o ensino superior privado com fins lucrativos no Brasil gera uma educação extremamente pobre e consequentemente a maioria delas focam somente no fato de se tornarem fábricas de diplomas para alunos dos meios socialmente mais desprovidos.

Education In Brazil

This article discusses the role of the for-profit private sector in the Brazilian Higher Education System. Emphasizing its hegemony, we consider that the adoption of mercantilist logic has implications for the quality of supply and is leading the sector to be characterized as an oligopoly. Although the National Education Plan predicts an increase in public sector enrollment as massification continues, current economic and political conditions may prevent this expansion, leaving the country in a very delicate situation.
