Resumo
This study aims to understand the perceptions of the charging of tuition fees in Canada and
China and the perspectives of this practice in Brazil, which is a country where society requires
access to quality higher education, but which faces large budgetary constraints on its public
funding. To understand these questions, a qualitative exploratory multi-case study was
conducted with government officials, specialists in higher education, and student leadership
from all three countries, from 13 semi-structured interviews and 27 responses to an
unstructured questionnaire, in order to clarify a subject still paradigmatic in the scope of
Brazilian public higher education. In conclusion to this analysis, and considering the benefits
provided by the Canadian and Chinese participants, it is suggested to Brazil to carry out a
reflection on this subject. This reflection is necessary, especially if the need to increase the
financial support to these institutions is proven and this cannot be done because of the
financial availability. This initiative would aim to boost public higher education institutions
through greater financial availability and democratize access and permanence, as it would
have more resources to invest in assisting students from underrepresented groups participating
in the system.
