ANALYSIS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PNAES AT UTFPR AND UFSB

Abstract

Dropout in higher education is a Brazilian problem, for which public policies have been created with the aim of reducing these rates. The objective of this article is to collect data and analyze the Student Aid Program (PAE) of UTFPR and the Student Assistance Program to Support Permanence (PAP) of UFSB during the period 2021, 2022 and 2023. This research is important because it provides information that helps to understand the two programs, since they are included in the budget of UTFPR and UFSB and that in 2023 a budget of R$ 19,091,481.26 and R$ 3,043,000.00 were recorded, respectively. Based on the data collected from the two institutions, a qualitative analysis and a comparison between the scenario and the reality of both institutions was carried out, in order to demonstrate that even though they are federal HEIs, created by law, with similar objectives, there may be variations in regional realities that influence budget revenue and execution. After the analyses, we came to the conclusion that there is a difference in revenue and number of students covered by the PNAES between UTFPR and UFSB. We conclude this from the fact that UTFPR is an institution that is already consolidated and has a larger structure, while UFSB is a new institution that seeks its consolidation and expansion.
