Book Synopsis Higher Education and the State in Latin America by : Daniel C. Levy
Download or read book Higher Education and the State in Latin America written by Daniel C. Levy and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1986-03 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin America higher education has undergone an astonishing transformation in recent years, highlighted by the private sector's growth from 3 to 34 percent of the region's total enrollment. In this provocative work Daniel Levy examines the sources, characteristics, and consequences of the development and considers the privatization of higher education within the broader context of state-society relationships. Levy shows how specific national circumstances cause variations and identifies three basic private-public patterns: one in which the private and public sectors are relatively similar and those in which one sector or the other is dominant. These patterns are analyzed in depth in case studies of Chile, Mexico, and Brazil. For each sector, Levy investigates origins and growth, and then who pays, who rules, and whose interests are served. In addition to providing a wealth of information, Levy offers incisive analyses of the nature of public and private institutions. Finally, he explores the implications of his findings for concepts such as autonomy, corporatism, and privatization. His multifaceted study is a major contribution to the literature on Latin American studies, comparative politics, and higher education.
Download or read book Higher Education in Brazil written by and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2002 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For years, Brazil has had a system of higher education, which has not adequately met the needs of the Brazilian companies or prospective students. In comparison to other countries in the region, Brazilian universities have enrolled a significantly smaller percentage of the eligible students, have not produced an adequately trained work force and have been cost prohibitive for lower income students. Both economic and societal pressures are now forcing changes upon the educational system. Together with the Minister for Education, members of the National Education Council, and others, World Bank staff participated in an assessment of options to improve higher education over the next two or three decades. This study describes the educational system, provides an economic perspective and contains specific policy recommendations resulting from the assessment."
Book Synopsis Essays on Access to Higher Education in Brazil by : Ana Paula Melo da Silva (Ph.D.)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation studies college admissions in Brazil in the past two decades, a period characterized by a decline in the socioeconomic inequality in demand for higher education. The first chapter studies an affirmative action policy enacted at a flagship university in Brazil to lower the socioeconomic inequality in college access. I find substantial redistributive effects, particularly for first-generation and racial minorities. Low-income applicants also become more likely to apply to a selective major. However, some targeted applicants reach too high, missing their chance at acceptance. Such inefficiency is driven by a strict one-major-choice admissions design. Alternative mechanisms can improve efficiency while preserving the redistributive gains. Beyond college access, inclusion in high-earnings fields is an important channel by which affirmative action can promote social mobility. The second chapter studies the effects of temperature on performance in an exam used for college admissions in Brazil. It exploits a unique context in which this exam's stakes changed over time, induced by more universities adopting a centralized college admissions system. Results show that temperature during the exam negatively affects performance. However, as the exam stakes increase, students exert compensatory effort to counterbalance the adverse effects of temperature. These findings reinforce the role of investments in infrastructure to mitigate a source of inequality affecting exam performance and college access. The third chapter studies how affirmative action policies adopted by almost one hundred universities across Brazil changed high school persistence and demand for college. Most policies targeted applicants from public high schools, some of which included income and race criteria. Exploiting temporal and spatial variation in policy intensity, results show positive effects on high school persistence and demand for college among targeted students but negative effects for the non-targeted. These findings highlight the importance of affirmative action in shaping individual aspirations and, in turn, pre-college levels of education, demonstrating the far-reaching effects of affirmative action policies.
Book Synopsis Higher Education in Latin American by : Lewis Tyler
Download or read book Higher Education in Latin American written by Lewis Tyler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this series is to bring together the main currents in today's higher education and examine such crucial issues as the changing nature of education in the U.S., the considerable adjustment demanded of institutions, administrators, the faculty; the role of Catholic education; the remarkable growth of higher education in Latin America, contemporary educational concerns in Europe, and more. Among the many specific questions examined in individual articles are: Is it true that women are subtly changing the academic profession? How is power concentrated in academic organizations? How successful are Latin America's private universities? What is the correlation between higher education and employment in Spain? Is minority graduate education in the U.S. producing the desired results?
