A relação economia e educação e seus impactos no ensino superior brasileiro

Abstract

The close relationship between economics and education is not a new discussion and was further studied in the early 1960s in the face of the need to resume development in war-torn countries. This text seeks to analyze the close relationship between economics and education, limited to the context of higher education. To do so, it begins by presenting the relation that exists between these two fields; discusses the main reflections of this relationship in the expansion of higher education and; dialogues on academic productivism and the role of higher education. Through bibliographic research, a review of studies was undertaken. It is concluded that in the attempt to work in the development of countries with low rates of development, international organizations are inserted in the educational context with intentions based on econometrics, with the focus on the financing of education and focusing on educational reforms; even with the maintenance of the presence of the State in the face of social policies, the private sector was guaranteed entry through the aspirations of the free liberal economy; academic competition results in a productivism that hampers more in-depth research and poses risks to the quality of life of its authors.
