The causes of the crises of the model and purpose of Brazilian public and private universities: The causes are political, economic, internal and external ideological and cyclical!?

Abstract

In recent years, it has been a matter of controversy and scientific conversation to argue about the crisis that affects the Model and the purpose of Brazilian public and private universities. In this sense, through a historical summary, the main objective of this scientific study is to demonstrate by induction the causes of the crises of Brazilian public and private universities from the past to approximately the present. These crises have taken on a cyclical behavior and have a revival in the last two decades, which affects the present. The causes of these crises are based on internal and external political, economic, ideological factors, which affect public education for the construction and development of Brazilian civilization. To reveal this result, this work is developed using the same methodology and foundation that were used in the recent and interesting article named: The university that there was, that there is and the one that may exist in the future university education in Brazil [Estanislau da Silva, 2023, 1]. In this way, strong historical, principled, pragmatic, logical arguments and a vast literature are used to better induce the demonstration of the causes of university crises, which are common to all crisis cycles. Consequently, due to the way in which the answer to the problem exposed here was approached, the methodology motivated us to divide this article into historical temporal periods, in order to better expose a didactic with the purpose of ensuring the obtaining of the causes, their interactions and understanding. In this direction, the reading is current continuously and, therefore, in many cases, dispensing with comments for each next section.
