Avaliação do PNAES e o direito à permanência no ensino superior nas IFES. O que temos feito?

Abstract

Due the expansion occurred in public higher education during the PT governments, based on policies such as REUNI, the creation of new IFES, quota policies and creation of SISU, the academy must be attentive to policies that aim at the stability of a new student profile that appears in this context of expansion and interiorization of higher education. In this research, I sought to investigate the academic production regarding the evaluation of PNAES, one of the fundamental stages of the public policy cycle. This step is essential to verify the results of the policy implemented both by the principle of efficiency that conducts public administration, and also by the perspective of guaranteeing the right to universal education, which is laid down by the Federal Constitution of 1988. This survey facilitates the work of future researchers in the area, in order to promote the advancement of research within the field of student assistance and the consequent decision-making for the public manager. For this, I carried out bibliographic research and I found 3 articles published by the magazine "Evaluation: Journal of the evaluation of higher education". I also found 6 dissertations of which one-third of these works came from the south region of Brazil (amongst the other ones, it shows a region of concentration), of which, there are only two from the Northeast (UFPE and UFC) and two from the Southeast (UNICAMP and UFV) regions. The work is scarce, concentrated in a few regions, and some are methodologically limited. In addition, there is a diversity of academic education and occupation area of the actors involved in the research. Therefore, I concluded that in general, the academic works were unable to reach the objective of evaluating PNAES (even if locally); although it is possible to reap good results and use them as a horizon for the program improvement.
