A oferta do ensino superior nos centros regionais de Minas Gerais: indicadores com base na mobilidade pendular

Abstract

The National Education Guidelines and Framework Law, enacted in 1996, favored the flexibilization of higher education. According to data released by INEP, between 2000 and 2010, the enrollment growth rate was 180% in Minas Gerais. Given this scenario, some questions deserve to be evaluated, such as: what are the regional centers for the provision of higher education in the interior of the state? What are the dynamics of mobility for study and work purposes associated with these regional centers? This paper discusses the role of regional centers in the provision of higher education in the interior of the state of Minas Gerais, analyzing the networks of influence of mobility for study and work purposes. The regional centers in the provision of higher education were identified through the Regional Centrality Index (ICR). For the five main centers, the mobility networks for study and work purposes were evaluated.
