Inequalities linked in the Brazilian educational system: stratifications between the upper secondary and higher levels of education

Journal Title: Práxis Educativa - Year 2019, Vol 14, Issue 2

Abstract

This paper discusses educational stratification in upper secondary education and in higher education. The study of educational stratifications allows to visualize social and educational segmentation within the system. The educational expansion that took place in Brazil in the recent period draws attention to the persistence of limits linked to deep social inequalities. The study presents secondary statistic data on upper secondary and higher education and discusses categories that express horizontal stratification inside each educational level. Results show that there is a variation of educational stratification in both levels and that public or private financing, institutional type and program type allow the verification of traits of Brazilian educational reality that tend to reproduce historical concatenated inequalities.
