Abstract

The present work analyzes Brazilian higher
education since the end of the 1980’s, showing
that its reform is part of an international
movement for educational reorganization.
While acknowledging that this reform is
an imperative of capital in the face of an
accumulation crisis, the study shows that
the reform of higher education is based on
a neoconservative project, whose content
permeates the justifications for its defense.
