INTERNATIONALIZATION
1. Develop International cooperation based
on solidarity and mutual respect and the
promotion of humanistic values and
intercultural dialogue.
2. Increase the transfer of knowledge across
borders, and work towards finding
common solutions to foster brain
circulation and alleviate the negative
impact of brain drain.
INTERNATIONALIZATION
3. Develop international university
networks and partnerships to enhance
mutual understanding and a culture of
peace;
4. Develop more intense and balanced
academic mobility;
INTERNATIONALIZATION
7. Promote globalization of higher
education to benefit all (for this to
happen, it is critical to ensure equity in
access and success, to promote quality
and respect cultural diversity as well as
national sovereignty);
8. establish national accreditation and
quality assurance systems along with
promotion of networking among them;
INTERNATIONALIZATION
9. Increase regional cooperation in
aspects such as quality assurance,
recognition of diplomas, of credits and
studies;
10. Combat 'degree mills' at national and
international levels.
DEGREE MILLS
Combat degree mills through multi-pronged action at
national and international levels;
How are we doing?
Regulatory controls are being put in place, with Strong
implications over the evaluation system. A new
Institute (INSAES) is being created to assure a better
control over institutions that have little appreciation
for quality.
Degree Mills are exactly what creates enormous resistence
in public universities vis-a-vis diplomas obtained in
foreign countries.
At CNE a new resolution is under discussion and SESu is
presently working on a platform to rationalize the
recognition of foreign degrees.
ICT and ODL
Support the fuller integration of ICTs and promote ODL to
meet increasing demands for higher education..
How are we doing?
The growth of distance education has been exponential in
Brazil during the last ten years.
The creation of the Brazilian Open University (UAB), as a
consortium of public universitiers, is also a form of
democratization of access to higher education with
good quality. Today higher education representes
about 16% of all higher education enrolments.
