Public Policies of Inclusion in Higher Education: an Analysis of the Brazilian Context in the Last 20 Years

Abstract The paper analyzes the public policies for higher education in Brazil, with the main objectives of demonstrating legislative evolution and qualitative and quantitative data on access to higher education by blacks and browns. The research is supported by a deductive method, since it is being collected and analyzed first and then analyzed and completed. The methods of procedure will be historical and statistical, interrelating the study of public policies of access to higher education and governmental and non-governmental data. In the empirical analysis, statistical data will be needed, specifying the quali-quantifiable attributes of the data collected for an understanding in line with theoretical construction. It can be perceived, by way of results and final considerations, that there is still a lot of evolution, but that significant changes in the protection of affirmative actions are being implemented.

摘要 本文针对巴西高等教育公共政策展开系统性分析，核心研究目标在于呈现巴西黑人与棕种群体高等教育入学的立法演进历程，以及相关入学机会的定性与量化数据。本研究采用演绎法开展，遵循先收集、初步分析数据，再完成后续深化分析与完善的研究路径。研究将结合历史研究与统计分析方法，将高等教育入学公共政策的研究与政府及非政府机构的相关数据进行关联研究。在实证分析环节，需依托统计数据明确所采集数据的定性与量化属性，以契合理论建构的理解逻辑。从研究结果与最终考量来看，尽管巴西高等教育领域仍存在较大的发展空间，但在平权行动的保护机制落实方面，已取得了显著的进展。
