The National Association of Private Universities (ANUP) defended quality standards for distance learning (EAD), but it requires a balance in the organization to ensure its inclusion and innovation in the sector.
Despite the recognition of progress, Anopp has shown caution, especially since the full text of the new rules has not yet been released in the Federal Official Gazette (Dou). In a technical note, the entity defends an organizational framework that guarantees quality, estimates the college and placing the student in the learning process center.
However, he warns that any new list needs to consider the reality of millions Brazilians who depend on EAD As the only form to reach higher education.
The statement says: “We are favorable for the organizational framework that urges quality (…), but we understand that we need to consider the role of technology and various methodologies in the educational process and access to education,” especially for the population of cities and small areas with limited infrastructure.
hardness
The entity also appealed to operational decisions – such as the percentage between teachers and students – should not be strictly or generally defined, but from good data, practices and continuous dialogue between MEC and educational institutions.
“We will continue to follow the spread of supplementary rules and repeat the importance that operational definitions are the subject of continuous evaluation, based on the evidence,” Anoob notes.
Congress
For the head of the Mixed Parliamentary Front for Education, Deputy Rafael Brito says he is aware of the argument that EAD enhances integration, but indicates that the logistical difficulty does not come from today.
He said in a conversation with CNN: “The logistical difficulty in higher education has been for those who have a small town, which has been present for a long time. It is an important argument, but it should not be central. It may not make the country form doctors and nurses to learn remotely. This is not the solution.”
Parliament also argues that this measure comes with delay. “We used to see the highest levels of higher levels with much lower than what we expect from Brazil. This was supposed to have happened in the first half of the government. Happy because he came. It was a sector that everyone was asking for organization. In the case of law coursesOab her herself asked mec to prohibit remote training. “
Brito evaluated that it was a “very flexible and correct” scale, and that it was well hesitated among parliamentarians on the front.
decree
This Monday (19), President of the Republic, Luiz Inosio Lula Da Silva (PT) signed the decree that defines the new organizational framework for EAD, in an attempt to reorganize and harden the rules of the method in higher education.
During the official ceremony, structural changes were announced in the coordination of higher education courses, with the definition of three methods: the face -to the interface, semi -fields and EAD (100 % over the Internet). The Ministry of Education (MEC) has also suggested unifying the concepts of face and distance activities, in addition to restricting EAD supplies for some training courses and proposing new educational models that intensify interaction between students and teachers.
