Abstract

The study aims to demonstrate, in a synthetic way, some features of the reality of higher education in Brazil and to point out the minimum necessary for quality education.

What has been perceived in recent years is that governments have been concerned with expanding the offer of places in primary school without being concerned with mechanisms for improving the quality of education, especially higher education.

From the analysis of the performance of students at ENEM and of teachers at public universities, it is possible to note the lack of responsibility and investment in higher schools. At this point, it is worth recalling the phrase of the famous educator Darcy Ribeiro: The crisis in education in Brazil is not a crisis; it's a project.

Given this scenario, the best solution would be a serious investment in the process of training managers of the education systems and of the schools themselves. Better and greater investments in school infrastructure and in the training and valuation of education professionals, which would involve increasing the offer of places in public universities for better training of teachers and the development of an entire system of continuing education for educators and managers.

Although the logic points to these measures, in the current political situation we perceive the tendency of political groups to want a setback when it comes to education.

This is inconceivable, whereas the quality of education is strongly linked to the quality of teacher training, because what a teacher thinks determines what he does when he teaches.
