Since colonial times, higher education in Brazil has been marked by the appreciation of bachelor's degrees. But data from the 2007 Higher Education Census, collected by the MEC and released this week, reveals a new trend at the beginning of the 21st century: the appreciation of higher technology courses.
The report shows that the number of students entering this Special Data recent degree program grew 390% from 2002 to 2007, rising from 38,386 to 188,347. Scary? Nothing that cannot be justified.
Technological courses have become popular among Brazilians because they are directly aimed at an increasingly competitive job market. And those who think that because they are of shorter duration, degrees produce poorly qualified workers are mistaken. After all, along with the growth of the Brazilian economy during this same period, there was an increase in demand for specialized professionals.
And it's not just private colleges that offer technology. The census also revealed that in the federal education network alone, they went from 146 in 2002 to 331 in 2007. This is without counting the expansion of federal universities nor the creation of the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology, in which 30% of Vacancies will be reserved for higher technology courses. In other words, the story is just beginning to turn the page.
And are you applying? Have you ever thought about taking a technology course? Do you agree that they can be a faster way to access the job market? Are you pursuing a degree? So tell us your experience!
