摘要
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 decada de 1970 por meio de incentivos estatais, tais como credito educacional e isencao de impostos. Na sua configuracao mais recente, a logica dos fundos de investimento que negociam em bolsa controla as maiores instituicoes. A gestao de fundos de investimento insere uma nova variavel na aplicacao dos recursos financeiros. Requer reducao de custos para maximizar o valor para o acionista, mas isso significa a entrega de um nivel educacional bastante precario. Regido por uma logica de lucro maximo, o ensino superior privado com fins lucrativos no Brasil gera uma educacao extremamente pobre e consequentemente a maioria delas focam somente no fato de se tornarem fabricas de diplomas para alunos dos meios socialmente mais desprovidos.
