This paper focuses on undergraduate studies and attempts to evaluate these programs in terms of their efficiency and effectiveness as they have facilitated access for millions of Brazilians with repercussions pertaining to students´ income and availability of financial resources. This assessment is unprecedented and aims at producing data for these programs. Findings can be used by decision makers, both to draw up and implement policies, as well as by the program beneficiaries. This study raises the hypothesis that these programs have been both effective and efficient in democratizing students´ access to higher education by considering them as citizens or consumers, a situation that was made possible with the democratization of educational services to higher education institutions. These ideas were confirmed by this research through analysis of the documentation of the education institutes participating in the study, information posted on their official websites, and applied questionnaires. Therefore, this study is exploratory in nature and incorporates information collected through literature as well as documentation from which both quantitative and qualitative data were produced. Debates around this issue rise from the analysis of the relationship between public and private spaces and also involve issues related to social justice, democratization of opportunities, citizenship, and gratuity on the one hand and consumption and payment on the other hand, all related to higher education / Esta dissertação tem como objeto de estudo as políticas públicas em educação superior, beneficiários, objetivos e resultados, em Vitória da Conquista, Bahia, em 2008: FIES e PROUNI, priorizando o ensino de graduação presencial, buscando avaliar tais programas, sob o aspecto da eficácia e efetividade. Isso se justifica porque eles têm facilitado o acesso de milhões de brasileiros, atuando sobre a renda e disponibilidade de recursos dos estudantes. Essa avaliação é uma tarefa inédita e visa produzir informações sobre esses programas. Elas podem ajudar à tomada de decisão de quem os elabora e aplica ou de quem deles se beneficia. Este estudo levanta as hipóteses de que esses programas têm sido eficázes e efetivos na democratização do acesso a educação superior para os estudantes, tratando-os, alternadamente, como cidadãos ou consumidores; o que se tornou possível com a democratização da prestação de serviços educacionais de terceiro grau para as instituições de ensino superior. Hipoteses que se confirmaram como resultado da pesquisa. Ao responder as questões propostas foram analisados documentos das instituições, além de sitios oficiais e questionários aplicados. Esta pesquisa tem, portanto, carater exploratório, incorporando ainda, levantamentos de natureza bibliográfica e documental, a partir dos quais se produziu informações com características quantitativas e qualitativas. Os debates sobre esse tema originam-se a partir da análise da relação entre os espaços públicos e privados, tocando ainda na questão da justiça social, democractização das oportunidades de vida, cidadania e gratuidade, de um lado, consumo e pagamento, do outro.

No. of bitstreams: 1 RidalvoMAO_TESE.pdf: 3012875 bytes, checksum: f4ffef2e215903a0c0f94266c9f9e251 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-08-30 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior / Access is a problem of higher education in Brazil that has existed since the formalization of this has occurred since the installation of the Portuguese court in Brazil in 1808. Only 10% of young people between 18 and 24 years of age attending this level of education in 2000, arriving in 2010 just 15%, far from that determined the National Education Plan in 2001, triple that percentage by the year 2010. In addition, a majority of seats of public HEIs is populated by students from the private network, especially in high-demand courses. In this context, this study aims to identify the costs related to the trajectories of students who were successful in the vestibular UFRN editions from 2006 to 2010. Presents an overview of higher education in Brazil, a brief history of vestibular, as well as new forms of access, and some of the policies to expand such access, highlighting the argument Inclusion UFRN. Focusing on the theme of the paper presents the concepts of opportunity costs and social. After collecting data through a questionnaire and consultation of databases COMPERVE was developed to search for a descriptive and analytical, with the participation of 3,995 students, of whom 1642 (41.1%) had completed secondary education in schools public, and 2,078 (52%) in private schools. The profile indicates that 90% are single, about 50% are 21 years of age, are white and female. In the course of preparation for college entrance exams, 80% chose the course during or after completion of the last year of high school, and almost 70% said they had started preparing at that time. Findings related to the costs involved with this preparation indicate that, in most cases there were school fees and disbursements and workshops, and the purchase of books and other materials, with parents primarily responsible for this cost, the amount disbursed each month was up $ 300 for 64% of respondents and only 7% of them exceeded $ 1,000, the major non-financial costs were characterized by the following resignations: job opportunities (24%) or temporary work (20%) courses of languages (26%), leisure activities (48%), leisure travel (43%), and parties and / or shows (54%). Of social investments by the government, stand out in the tax waiver scholarships for study in private institutions, grant exemption from the registration fee of vestibular, the preparatory courses UFRN, and seminars by COMPERVE / UFRN with networks of high school. From the junction of the opportunity costs (private costs) and social costs (public costs), a new concept: the social opportunity cost, which measures the combined efforts of families and government to finance the opportunity to access higher education of an individual. This concept can and should be incorporated as a strategic vector for the sake of democratic university, which reflects the social model that is sought / O acesso ? um problema do ensino superior no Brasil que existe desde a formaliza??o deste, ocorrida ap?s a instala??o da corte portuguesa no pa?s, em 1808. Somente 10% dos jovens entre 18 e 24 anos de idade frequentavam esse n?vel de ensino no ano 2000, chegando em 2010 a apenas 15%, muito distante do que determinava o Plano Nacional de Educa??o em 2001: triplicar aquele percentual at? o ano 2010. Al?m disso, a maioria das vagas das IES p?blicas ? preenchida por alunos provenientes da rede privada, principalmente nos cursos de alta demanda. Nesse contexto, o presente estudo objetiva identificar os custos relacionados com as trajet?rias dos estudantes que obtiveram sucesso no vestibular da UFRN nas edi??es de 2006 a 2010. Apresenta uma retrospectiva do ensino superior no Brasil, um breve hist?rico do vestibular, bem como das novas formas de acesso, e algumas das pol?ticas de amplia??o desse acesso, destacando o Argumento de Inclus?o da UFRN. Focando o tema central do trabalho, s?o apresentados os conceitos de custos de oportunidade e sociais. Os dados dessa pesquisa, de car?ter descritivo e anal?tico, foram coletados por meio de um question?rio eletr?nico e de consultas aos bancos de dados da COMPERVE, com a participa??o de 3.995 alunos, dos quais 1.642 (41,1%) cursaram o ensino m?dio em escolas da rede p?blica, e 2.078 (52%) em escolas da rede privada. O perfil indica que 90% s?o solteiros; cerca de 50% tem at? 21 anos de idade, s?o de cor branca e do sexo feminino. Na trajet?ria de prepara??o para o vestibular, 80% escolheram o curso durante ou ap?s a conclus?o do ?ltimo ano do ensino m?dio, e quase 70% afirmaram ter iniciado a prepara??o nessa mesma ?poca. Descobertas relacionadas aos custos envolvidos com essa prepara??o apontam que: na maioria dos casos houve desembolsos com mensalidades escolares e cursinhos, e com a aquisi??o de livros e outros materiais, sendo os pais os principais respons?veis por esse custeio; o valor desembolsado mensalmente foi de at? R$ 300 para 64% dos respondentes e, para apenas 7% destes ultrapassou R$ 1.000; os principais custos n?o financeiros se caracterizaram pelas seguintes ren?ncias: oportunidades de empregos (24%) ou trabalhos tempor?rios (20%); frequentar cursos de idiomas (26%); atividades de lazer (48%); viagens de lazer (43%); e festas e/ou shows (54%). Dos investimentos sociais por parte do governo, destacam-se a ren?ncia fiscal na concess?o de bolsas de estudo em IES privadas, a concess?o de isen??o de taxa de inscri??o do vestibular, os cursinhos preparat?rios da UFRN, e a realiza??o de semin?rios pela COMPERVE/UFRN com as redes de ensino m?dio. A partir da jun??o dos custos de oportunidade (custos privados) com os custos sociais (custos p?blicos), surge um novo conceito: o de custo social de oportunidade, que mede o esfor?o conjunto das fam?lias e do governo para o financiamento da oportunidade de acesso ao ensino superior de um indiv?duo. Esse conceito pode e deve ser incorporado como um vetor estrat?gico para a causa da universidade democr?tica, que reflete o modelo de sociedade que se busca

Cette recherche se penche sur l’impact des facteurs contextuels, familiaux et individuels dans l’accessibilité au postsecondaire des Premières Nations et des Métis âgés entre 18 et 34 ans qui vivent hors collectivités des Premières Nations au Canada. En plus de l’impact de ces facteurs au niveau national, cette recherche s’intéresse aussi à leur impact selon les trois types de systèmes scolaires canadiens « à choix exclusif », « à choix progressif » et « à choix multiples ». Des régressions logistiques multinomiales ont été réalisées sur les données de l’enquête auprès des peuples Autochtones de 2012. Trois groupes de facteurs qui totalisent 24 indicateurs ont été examinés afin de répondre aux questions de recherche. Les résultats de cette recherche montrent que même si les facteurs contextuels, tels que l’environnement social et scolaire au secondaire et les facteurs familiaux, tels que la scolarité des membres de la famille sont déterminants dans l’accès au postsecondaire des Autochtones, les facteurs individuels sont les principaux facteurs prédictifs de cet accès. Parmi les facteurs les plus importants, il y a la performance académique et le décrochage scolaire, suivi de l’âge qui affecte considérablement cet accès, particulièrement à l’université. De plus, l’analyse de l’effet de modération selon les trois systèmes scolaires canadiens a également permis de distinguer une différence significative entre ces derniers qui est perceptible, d’une part, par les variances expliquées et, d’autre part, par l’impact différé des trois groupes de facteurs étudiés. / This research assesses the impact of contextual, family and individual factors in access to postsecondary education of First Nations and Métis people aged between 18 and 34 years old, living outside First Nations communities in Canada. This research examines also the impact of these factors across the three postsecondary types of school systems of Canada, i.e., “exclusive choice”, “progressive choice” and “multiple choice”. Multinomial logistic regression analyses were performed on the data of the Aboriginal Peoples Survey of 2012. Three groups of factors totaling 24 indicators were examined in order to answer the research questions. The results of this research show that, while contextual factors, such as the social and academic environment and family factors, such as the high academic level of family’s members are determinant in access to postsecondary education among Aboriginals living outside First Nations communities, the individual factors are the main predictors of this access. Among these main predictors, there are academic performance, dropping out of school and age. In addition, the analysis of moderation effects according to the three postsecondary types of systems present in Canada showed significant differences that can be seen, first, in the explained variance and second, in the difference between the importance of the different groups of factors in each system.

This thesis explores the entire cycle of education, from initial access to schooling, over degree completion, to returns to education. Despite recent gains in increasing access, an tens of millions of children worldwide are still out of school. Abolishing school fees has increased enrollment rates in several countries where enrollments were low and fees were high. However, such policies may be less effective, or even have negative consequences, when supply-side responses are weak. The first part of the thesis evaluates the impacts of a tuition waiver program in Haiti, which provided public financing to nonpublic schools conditional on not charging tuition. The chapter concludes that school's participation in the program results in more students enrolled, more staff, and slightly higher student-teacher ratios. The program also reduces grade repetition and the share of overage students. While the increase in students does not directly equate to a reduction in the number of children out of school, it does demonstrate strong demand from families for the program and a correspondingly strong supply response from the nonpublic sector.Pertaining degree completion, it is well established that natural disasters can have a negative effect on human capital accumulation. However, a comparison of the differential impacts of distinct disaster classes is missing. Using census data and information from DesInventar and EMDAT, two large disaster databases, the second part of the thesis assesses how geological disasters and climatic shocks affect the upper secondary degree attainment of adolescents. The chapter focuses on Mexico, given its diverse disaster landscape and lack of obligatory upper secondary education over the observed time period. While all disaster types are found to impede attainment, climatic disasters that are not infrastructure-destructive (e.g. droughts) have the strongest negative effect, decreasing educational expansion by over 40%. The effects seem largely driven by demand-side changes such as increases in school dropouts and fertility, especially for young women. The results may also be influenced by deteriorated parental labor market outcomes. Supply-side effects appear to be solely driven by infrastructure-destructive climatic shocks (e.g. floods). These findings thus call for differential public measures according to specific disaster types and an enhanced attention to climatic events given their potentially stronger impact on younger generations.It is also widely appreciated that natural disasters can have negative impacts on local labor market outcomes. However, the study of differential types of negative capital shocks, the underlying labor market mechanisms, and the context of the poorest countries have been neglected. Following testable predictions of economic theory, the third part of the thesis exploits the exogenous variation of destruction of human and physical capital caused by the 2010 Haiti earthquake to disentangle the differential impact on local individual monetary returns to education. Employing individual-level survey data from before and after the earthquake the chapter finds that the returns decreased on average by 37%, especially in equipment-capital intensive industry. Higher educated individuals adjust into low-paying self-employment or agriculture. The returns are particularly shock-sensitive for urban residents, migrants, males, and people over age 25. / Doctorat en Sciences économiques et de gestion / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
