Abstract

This paper will describe the opportunities for higher education in Brazil since the colonial period (1500-2000). It will show the creation of the first institutions of higher education in Brazil and their proliferation in time. In addition, this paper will also provide information about access to elementary and secondary education in order to analyze its impact on access to higher education. It will focus on the long-lasting reduced access to higher education depicting its restriction to segments of the Brazilian society in the basis of race and social class.
