A contrarreforma da educação superior brasileira no contexto da crise do capital

This article discusses the changes in Brazilian higher education from the context of the structural crisis of capital. Thus, we seek to relate how the development of the capitalist system and socio-productive changes affect Brazilian education and higher education. We will use as methodology the bibliographical research. We conclude that the growth of the private sector in higher education has a close relation with the economic policies adopted in peripheral countries. Essential services such as health and education go through privatization reaching the population not only through the privatization process, but also in the denial of access to public higher education institutions and knowledge areas of the university based on the tripod of teaching, research and extension.
