A institucionalização da política de cotas na educação superior na UFMS - 2013 a 2016

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the institutionalization of the Quotas Policy at the Federal University of Mato Grosso Sul, from 2013 to 2016. The Law of Quotas for Higher Education is identified as an action that facilitates the democratization of access to Higher Education. For the development of the research we carry out exploratory, bibliographical and documentary research, presenting the official documents that indicate how the Quota Policy in the UFMS is materialized. The main documents used were Resolutions, atas and reports, among others. Statistical data were necessary to support the analysis of vacancies and quotaants. Law no. 12,711 / 2012 is set as Affirmative Action, with the purpose of minimizing the social and historical fractures of groups considered as minorities. However, it is necessary to say that the discussions on inclusion in Higher Education are important so that, in addition to the current actions and strategies of access to higher education, other public policies can be thought and elaborated with the purpose of offering conditions of access and also permanence to the groups considered socially excluded. The results indicate that the Quota Policy is still being implemented in UFMS, reviewed and reorganized constantly. The elaboration of different strategies to effect the entry and permanence of quota students still requires more studies and institutional actions, however, institutionalization is gradually consolidating. We conclude that the institutionalization of the Quotas Law in UFMS is underway and that each year new strategies are developed for the institutionalization of this policy in the institution in question.
