Abstract

The present research is part of the Research Line "History, Policies and Education" of the Graduate Program in Education of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul and is part of the research on Higher Education Policy in Brazil Post-LDB / 1996: Impacts in the Midwest - Call FUNDECT / CNPq N 14/2014 PPP - MS. This dissertation aims to analyze the UFMS hall dance extension project as a permanence action in the context of higher education policies. It is known that the scenario of Higher Education undergoes structural adjustments and reforms according to the configuration of the State, so it is important to carry out this work. We have as research object the policies of higher education, with emphasis on the permanence of students in institutions of higher education. In this direction, the dissertation has the nature of case study and perpassed by other research methodologies such as bibliographical, documentary, descriptive and exploratory, having as a methodological presupposition the dialectical historical materialism. A questionnaire was used to obtain data from the students who participated in / participated in the ballroom dance project. It is based on the understanding that the dynamics of reproduction of capital obey and follow the principle of accumulation, reflecting the lack of investment in education and in the context of higher education. The results demonstrate that the students who participated in the project of extension of ballroom dance remained and concluded their respective courses, indicating a strong relation between the participation of the extension and the possibility of completing their studies. We conclude that the actions developed in the project favored the permanence and conclusion of the interviewees, indicating that this extension action contributes to the students' permanence. In short, university stay policies were created to favor the permanence of students and should be viewed in a broader perspective, but attention must also be paid to each part of the university tripod (teaching, research and extension) and that each one of them is perceived as a pillar, because solutions to issues such as permanence and avoidance can be solved through university extension, as this work affirms.
