XV Brazilian Congress of Private Higher Education (CBESP), in Alexânia, Goiás Publicity/CBESP Higher education In the first half of this year, MEC offered more than 67,000 places in private higher education institutions within Fies. More than 200,000 applicants have applied to try to get full or partial funding for undergraduate studies. According to the Brazilian Association of Higher Education Maintainers (ABMES), with the current rules, only half of the vacancies will be filled, since many students are unable to meet the income and grade requirements of the National High School Exam (Enem). The association informed that it took to the MEC a proposal to reformulate the program that links the payment of installments to the student’s remuneration in a percentage that does not compromise his income, with the objective of making the student remain in the course until the conclusion. “We defend that, once young people lose their income temporarily, they can suspend their Fies payments. With these changes, we believe that Fies will once again become an attractive program”, explained Celso Niskier, executive director of Abmes. See other news from the region at g1 Goiás.
