Qualidade social e políticas para a Educação Superior no Brasil

Abstract

This text consists of both a theoretical review and a reflection on references about social quality for higher education policies in Brazil. Discussing higher education in the scenery of educational policies in Brazil requires a comprehension of educative phenomenon as a whole, considering the several contexts of social and political life. Accordingly, requires a reflection on economy, politics, culture, art, such as ethical, philosophical, scientific, technological, curricular and pedagogical issues, besides on further dimensions of human life; it will be emphasized  the defence of a higher education that is asserted in the centrality of quality proposals with social sense and values.
