Uma análise da implantação do Programa Reuni na UFPB (2008-2012)

Abstract

The study aims to analyze the implementation of the Program to Support Restructuring and Expansion Plans of Brazilian Federal Universities, REUNI, at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB), in the period between 2008 and 2012, from the design of the project to the results of its implementation, both in the academic context and in its infrastructure, observing the global goals proposed and the path taken by the university for the effective implementation of the program. In order to achieve its objective, this study developed a qualitative and exploratory analysis of REUNI as a national program, as well as its design and implementation in the UFPB, using for that the legislation and regulations that regulate the national program, as well as the reference documents which supported the formulation of the REUNI Project at the UFPB, and the management reports and similar documents produced by the University related to the implementation of the program. This study concludes that REUNI has had adequate implementation in the UFPB, especially in the indicators of expansion of the number of courses, expansion of the number of teachers and improvement of the teacher-student rate, and, on the other hand, a high implementation rate in the number of attendance enrollments (although not achieving the stipulated target), and regular implementation in infrastructure projects and unsatisfactory at the goal set for the Graduation Success Rate.
