Evaluation of the policy quotas of UEPG: unveiling the Right to equality and difference

Abstract:

This work results from a dissertation that conducted an evaluation of the quota policy of the State University of Ponta Grossa (UEPG) for the period 2007 to 2010. The objective was to verify of the effectiveness of the quota policy regarding favoring the expansion of access to university for black students from public schools and students from public schools. The instruments chosen for the collection of empirical data were interviews and questionnaires. The methodology of the Collective Subject Discourse was used, which enabled the construction of summary discourses, resulted from the reports of subjects in the research. Although the attempted reproduction of inequalities is perceived and confirmed within the institution, the movement to overcome the social and educational inequalities by the views of education exists. The research allows us to affirm that the policy of quota in UEPG is effective in some aspects. In other aspects, the policy deserves attention from its implementers. The quota policy of UEPG is valid for eight years and this evaluation, performed during its lifetime, confirms the importance of monitoring the implementation of public policies as a necessary instrument for the exercise of democracy.
