Resumo
In an increasingly challenging world, nations need to follow the development and
performance of their peers. This initiative is important for a country to improve its results
having as reference good practices already adopted by other countries. From there, this
research aims to analyze the behavior of twelve indicators that affect the development of
higher education, with reference to Brazil, Canada and China. Once selected, an analysis of
correlations of the indicators was performed, in order to understand those who have the
greatest influence in each other through a Spearman correlation matrix and a perceptual map
generated by Principal Component Analysis. The analysis of the Spearman matrix and the
perceptual maps ratified the direct relationship between investment in higher education and its
expansion. It also noticed the influence of the third degree in the country economy. Finally, it
was possible to observe that the correct monitoring of these indicators can demonstrate an
important relationship of influences that, if well analyzed, can lead the country to the desired
development
