As metas do Plano Nacional de Educação para o ensino superior: desafios para o Plano de Desenvolvimento Institucional da Universidade Federal do Ceará

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the Institutional Development Plan prepared within the scope of the Federal University of Ceará from 2018 to 2022, from the perspective of its potential and limitations in the context of the goals of the National Education Plan ( 2014 to 2024) for Higher Education. Being a quali-quantitative and interpretive investigation, the aforementioned was structured in two moments: a) bibliographic analysis of the concepts and themes related to the National Education Plan; b) survey and document analysis of the Institutional Development Plan (2018-2022), the statistical yearbooks (2014-2022) and the management indicators prepared by the UFC. As a result of the research, it appears that goals 13 and 14, aimed at graduate studies, are partially met, while goal 12, although registering growth, is far from being achieved, especially in terms of net and gross enrollment rates, as well as with regard to the expansion of enrollments in the public sector. It is also important tohighlight that Constitutional Amendment nº. 95/2016 approved in the context of the economic-political crisis, directly and negatively impacts the goals established in the National Education Plan (2014-2024) as well as the existence of and the effectiveness of National Plans of Education in the coming decades.
