A partir do primeiro governo Lula iniciou-se uma política pública de expansão da Educação Superior, com ampliação de vagas e criação de novas universidades e campi em regiões que tinham pouca presença de instituições desse nível de ensino. Essa expansão efetuou-se tanto por meio de instituições públicas, quanto por privadas, evidenciando-se dois modelos de educação superior, um notadamente mercantilista, e o outro, mesmo com suas contradições e recebendo pressões externas para que se aproxime mais do outro modelo, que se volta ao serviço à sociedade brasileira. Este trabalho procura registrar este momento da Universidade Brasileira, tomando por base o sul do Ceará, onde está instalada a Universidade Federal do Cariri, instituição criada por essa política de expansão. O trabalho fundamentou-se em uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema e na coleta de dados quantitativos do território. Sobre o material coletado foi realizada uma abordagem na perspectiva crítica, embasado na teoria marxista, para apontar as contradições dessa expansão e os pontos positivos da mesma. Os resultados do estudo apontam para a necessidade de um modelo diferenciado de Ensino Superior, que responda as demandas do Semiárido, embora o sistema capitalista exerça cada vez maior pressão para que o Ensino Superior se padronize de acordo com o projeto do capital para o território.Palavras-chave: Educação Superior.

This expansion took place both through public and private institutions, with two models of higher education, one notably mercantilist, and the other, even with its contradictions and receiving external pressures to get closer to the other model, which returns to service to Brazilian society. This work seeks to record this moment of the Brazilian University, based on the south of Ceará, where the Federal University of Cariri is located, an institution created by this expansion policy. The work was based on a literature review on the topic, and the collection of quantitative data from the territory. A critical approach was taken on the material collected, based on the Marxist theory, to point out the contradictions of this expansion and the positive points of it. The results of the study point to the need for a differentiated model of Higher Education, which responds to the demands of the Semiarid Region, although the capitalist system exerts increasing pressure for Higher Education to standardize according to the capital project for the territory.Keywords: Higher Education.

This article illustrates aspects of quality, innovation and inclusion in higher education through sport and physical activity, it is an educational and didactic dissemination and experience based on the systematization of experiences. It is emerging from the Colombian public policy of the Ministry of National Education, as a proposal to improve educational processes in higher education, which is carried out by articulating the processes of university welfare and incorporating different programs to take advantage of free time. From there that transcendental aspects of teacher training are considered today, as it seeks to provide spaces where prevention and promotion of healthy habits are promoted. From the universities, meetings with culture and sports should be encouraged, which facilitate the recognition and promotion of skills. In addition to stimulating the strengthening of the spiritual dimension of the human being, instilling the spirit for entrepreneurship and seeking alliances with the public and private sectors interested in contributing to the project of personal and professional life of students and collaborators. These actors are fundamental for the promotion of proactive beings and creators of new ideologies, which contribute to society in a space for socialization and community integration.

AbstractThe application of behavioural insights to public policy has been a success story of recent years, in academia and in the civil service. Alongside this, a parallel group of practitioners has emerged, using the same underlying research to pursue commercial and marketing goals. Although the objectives are mostly different, many of the approaches are similar. This article contrasts public and private sector approaches and highlights lessons each group can learn from the other.

y participación. Estos constan en la Constitución, y en leyes orgánicas, lo que da un marco normativo impulsor del ejercicio democrático. En la aplicación de la política de fortalecimiento de la democracia, se encuentran fuerzas y posiciones provenientes de diversos actores. Se puede observar que entre los activadores de la participación el más importante es el propio Gobierno, acompañado de actores sociales organizados, antiguos y nuevos. Otros actores exigen una participación más radical, por un lado, y terceros desprecian la presencia popular en el Estado. Los medios de comunicación convencionales han sido los principales voceros de esta última posición. En la aplicación de la política de participación, las diversas fuerzas han actuado desarrollando algunos mecanismos, ocultando otros o distorsionando su sentido original. En todo ello se han manifestado las posiciones e intereses de los actores. A pesar de estas tensiones, la política de participación como tal se ha dinamizado y fortalecido. AbstractThe new Ecuadorian institutionality has created a large number of mechanisms of representation, direct democracy and participation. These are contained in the Constitution and organic laws, which gives a regulatory framework that constitutes itself the promoter of the democratic exercise. In the applying of the policy of strengthening of democracy, there are forces and positions from various actors. It can be seen that among the activators of the participation of actors, the government itself is the most important, accompanied by organized, old and new social ones. Others demand a more radical participation on the one hand, and on the other hand another third group despises a popular presence in the state. The conventional communication media have been the main spokesmen of the last group. In the applying of the policy of participation, various forces have acted by developing some mechanisms, hiding others or distorting its original meaning. About all of these, the actors have expressed their positions and interests. Despite these tensions, political participation as such has become dynamic and strengthened.

Work in public and private sectors compared Work in public and private sectors compared During the past years, Dutch media made mention of work problems and social unrest in the public sectors. However, research did not focus very strongly on the quality of work in these sectors. Therefore the aim of this article is to describe working conditions and terms of employment in the public sectors in comparison with the private sectors in the Netherlands. The data used were gathered by TNO and Statistics Netherlands in 2010 with the annual Netherlands Working Conditions Survey. The 2010-sample contained 23.000 workers, representative for the Dutch work force.The analyses – centered on 10 public and 10 private sectors – show clearly that mental-emotional strain is higher in the public sectors than in private sectors. On the other hand, physical strain, dangerous work and irregular working hours, are encountered more frequently in the private sectors. In the public sectors employees work more with permanent contracts and in shorter working weeks. Work uncertainty is seen above average in the financial and commercial services and in the transportation sector, but also in government departments, the judiciary and the police. Feelings of burn out are found most often in the three educational sectors. Pay satisfaction is highest among workers in the financial services, higher education and government departments, and lowest in the police and the hotel and catering industry. On average overall work satisfaction is highest in the public sectors.In addition, the analyses show that the 10 public sectors cannot be seen as one whole; the same is true for the 10 private sectors. As far as the quality of work is concerned, government departments, local governments, provinces and higher education resemble commercial and financial services. But primary and secondary education, health care and the police differ significantly from the other public sectors.

During the 1950s and 1960s American higher education underwent a major change in size and structure, with a vast expansion in enrollments and increased emphasis on graduate training and research, relative to undergraduate teaching. This chapter explores the implications of this changing product mix for our understanding of costs, subsidies, financing methods, and decision-making structures in higher education. We ask the following questions: . . . 1. How did universities finance their production of graduate training and research (G and R), which usually do not bring in enough revenues to cover their costs? 2. What differences, if any, were there in the behavior of public and private universities regarding the shift toward G and R? 3. How did this change in product mix affect relative costs in universities versus two- and four-year colleges, which still specialize in undergraduate teaching? 4. What are the implications of this analysis for our understanding of the costs and benefits of education and for future public policy? For example, to what degree do state legislators and private donors control the product mix in higher education and who ultimately gains from the resources they provide?. . . Specifically, I characterize universities as multiproduct nonprofit organizations (NPOs) engaging in the teaching of undergraduates as a profitable activity, in order to subsidize graduate training and research, which are loss-making but yield direct utility to them. Cross-subsidization by NPOs, then, is an alternative to direct government funding of socially beneficial goods such as research, under certain circumstances. With certain differences that we shall note, this characterization applies to public and private institutions, and the term NPO is used for both in this chapter. At private universities, during the 1950s and 1960s, profits were generated mainly by huge tuition increases, made possible by rapidly rising demand, as we shall see below. State universities, too, engaged in cross-subsidization to finance G and R. However, since state universities often do not control or retain tuition revenue, their main device was a decrease in teaching cost per student.

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.
