Extract
In the literature on Latin America, any increase in the number of people attending schools is usually considered economically and socially beneficial and a sign of progress. Any increase in the population attending universities is viewed as an especially important change and bound to help economic development. Rarely will any person or group argue that an increase in the number of university students is a drag on the economy and socially pernicious.
Yet this is precisely the position taken by a small group within Brazil's Ministério de Educação e Cultura (MEC). Playing the role of a loyal but disgusted opposition, the Instituto Nacional de Estudes Pedagógicos (INEP) continuously attacked the educational policies of the federal and state governments during the 1950s, especially those relating to higher education.
