Purpose of the study: List the mean in the scale of utilization of the strategies of the Stricto Sensu Programs of the Higher Education Institutions of Brazil in the Public Administration and Business, Accounting and Tourism area in the scenarios surveyed for the period from 2019 to 2030. Methodology / approach: The scenario methodology suggested by Blanning and Reinig. Originality / Relevance: The postgraduate course presents itself as a necessary source of knowledge creation to meet the emerging demands of companies and society, so the choice to study the higher education sector, highlighting the Stricto Sensu Programs of public and private institutions of Brazil, is due to the relevance that this sector has for Brazil. It is relevant to reflect on the current conditions and contributions and the desirable future scenario for these postgraduates. Main results: As for the use of strategies by scenario, the strategy "to promote the quality of theses and dissertations" was highlighted in the optimistic and realistic scenarios; looking at the pessimistic scenario, the strategy that was in relevance was the reduction of costs.Theoretical / methodological contributions: It is to bring into the agenda strategies that can make important contributions to the institutions and their respective graduate programs in scenarios of uncertainties and challenges due to competitiveness.Social / management contributions: The social insertion is an important criterion for the integration and cooperation of already existing stricto sensu postgraduate programs, mature and or legitimized, with other programs and centers of study of Brazil, contributing emphatically to the promotion of new professionals , especially in the less favored regions of Brazil.

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.

Following WWII, America committed itself to a system of mass liberal education with a core component of the humanities, a system designed to improve the quality of people's lives and strengthen the social bond. This linkage of private and public ends was both symbolized and secured by the combination of public and private support for higher education. Today, the American system is in jeopardy because the private and public entities that support the university have largely turned away from the educational mission even as they have dramatically increased their support for research and other activities. The resulting alteration in the character of the university necessarily comes at a cost to the democratic aspirations and the vision of human flourishing that higher education has traditionally served.

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.

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.

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.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the formulation and implementation of educational policy processes in relation to private schools in Guatemala. Specifically, how bilingual education is defined and implemented in the private education sector in Guatemala City where the largest number of privately run establishments exist. Given the great deficits in the provision of educational coverage in the public sector, there has been an explosive expansion of private institutions which have very different levels of quality. Through an analysis of the administrative processes within the Guatemalan Government in general and its Education Ministry in particular as well as of the governance arrangements existing in the private school sector, an overall view of the curricular and policy decisions taken by private schools in the formulation and implementation of bilingual education is presented. This study was based on a sample of six private schools which cater to higher income segments of Guatemala City’s student population. Some of the relevant findings of this study include, the existence of a situation of quasi autonomous institutional functioning of the private sector, extreme differentials in the quality of services provided, inadequate levels of teacher and school administrator’s training as well as lack of cooperation between public and private sector schools.

The relatively quick evolution of paramedicine and the inevitable ‘growing pains’ associated with an evolving profession has seen mentoring and the role of the mentor become clouded in confusion, ineffective education and a lack of specific research. Paramedicine’s recent development as a registered profession has also seen mentoring explicitly outlined as being a capability expected of all registered paramedics. However, the paramedic-mentoring model in Australia seems to have been mostly left up to the individual paramedic to develop in isolation from adequate training and mentoring themselves. If paramedicine is to continue its evolution as a legitimate healthcare profession, the quality of clinical mentoring must be acknowledged as a significant factor by higher education institutions, and the public and private services who employ paramedics, and nurtured accordingly.

The 5S concept, practiced in Japan since the early 1980s, is the most widely accomplished practice in organizations in both the public and private sectors. To create a more comfortable, organized, clean, safe, neat and quality work culture within an organization, 5S practices were then introduced in Malaysia in the mid-1980s. It is able to define, achieve and ultimately maintain a better standard of work culture while increasing the value of employees in an organization. In this regard, the study was conducted to determine the effects of implementing 5S practices on productivity and quality of work among UiTM Cawangan Pulau Pinang’s support staff. The questionnaire was distributed to 60 respondents working in the workshops, laboratories, and kitchens at UiTM Cawangan Pulau Pinang. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 21. This study found that the effects of 5S practice among UiTM Cawangan Pulau Pinang support staff in terms of quality and productivity of work were quite excellent, reflecting the improvement in the work quality and productivity among support staff since 5S was implemented. This indirectly improves quality and productivity of laboratories, workshops, and kitchens services. The campus management needs to recover the lack of 5S practice to optimise the work quality and productivity among the support staff. Keywords: 5S practice, UiTM, productivity, quality of work
