Outline
• Higher education in Brazil and at UNICAMP.

• The ProFIS (Interdisciplinary Higher Education 
  Program).

• The ProFIS admission system.

• Preliminary results.
Higher education 
    in Brazil
and at UNICAMP
Higher education in Brazil
• Private universities
   – 77% of the enrollments.

   – Students with poor academic performance (in general).

• Public universities 
   – 23 % of the enrollments.

   – Very selective admission process.

   – Students with high academic performance.

   – Few low‐income students.
Autoexclusão?
UNICAMP

• One of the three public universities maintained by the São 
  Paulo State Government.
• Situated in Campinas, the 14th largest city in Brazil, with 
  1.08 million inhabitants. 
• 66 undergraduate programs with about 17,000 students.
• 66 graduate MSc and PhD programs with about 19,000 
  students.
• Admits only 5% of the applicants to the undergraduate 
  courses.
• PAAIS: Social inclusion at UNICAMP.
  – Affirmative action program that gives additional 
    points as to increase the “vestibular” score of
     • Low income students from public high schools. 

     • Black, mulatto and native Brazilian applicants.

  – Benefits around 30% of the university students.
Public high schools and UNICAMP




      Public high schools by enrollments at UNICAMP per year, in percentage.




• Even with the PAAIS, few UNICAMP students come from Campinas’
  public high schools (total of 96 high schools).
The ProFIS
Interdisciplinary Higher Education Program
The ProFIS
• General education program. 

• Restricted to graduate students from public high schools of 
  Campinas.

• 2 year course.

• Established in 2011.

• Aimed to 
   – Increase the access of low‐income and minority students to UNICAMP.

   – Give the students a broader education.
ProFIS goals.
• The ProFIS is aimed at developing student’s skills, including
   – Critical analysis

   – Abstract reasoning.

   – Written and oral communication.

   – Knowledge of the natural world.

   – Teamwork and problem solving.

   – Quantitative and qualitative research.

   – Multiculturalism.
Curriculum
• The ProFIS curriculum includes courses on
   – Language (reading and writing, English, literature)

   – Mathematics and statistics.

   – Humanities and arts (planet Earth, art and culture, history, economics, 
     psychology).

   – Natural sciences (IT, environment, physics, chemistry).

   – Biological and health sciences (the human body, evolution, health 
     promotion and quality of life, first aid, ethics and bioethics).

   – Academic research.
Migration to other UNICAMP courses

• After concluding the ProFIS, the student may enroll in another 
  university undergraduate course, without taking the “vestibular”.

• Most UNICAMP programs reserved some vacancies exclusively for 
  ProFIS students.

• The admission for these vacancies is based on merit, taking into
  account the students’ performance in the compulsory disciplines of 
  the program.
The ProFIS admission system
Admission and social inclusion.

The admission to ProFIS is based on the performance of  the 
applicants on the Nationwide High School Exam (ENEM) 

To check the impact of the new program on the profile of the 
university undergraduate population, we analyze

   The performance of the students on the ENEM test

   The self‐declared race of the students.

   The household income of the students.

   The instruction level of the parents.

Average monthly income, in R$.
Household income
Instruction level of the father, in %.




•   First generation to enroll a higher education program: 86%.
Student Success
• Special scholarships of R$ 625,00 per month were created. 
  60% have this fellowship, chosen by socioeconomic criteria. 
  Other students with lower value scholarships.
• Food and Transport support for all ProFIS students.
• Social Assistants with continuous support. 
• Full medical support, including psychological counselling. 
• Several TAs helping on daily basis to support studying. 
• Second year allows participation in research activities (with 
  fellowships from federal government)
Motivation for enrolling on ProFIS.
Perspectives
• ProFIS is an ingoing project, which is being continuously 
  evaluated.
• It represents a new model and a paradigm in Brazilian 
  Higher Education, that in principle could be adapted in 
  other universities. 
• It is a further step towards diversification of HE in Brazil, 
  and it promotes Social Inclusion keeping the merit.

                           Thank you!

Vestibular
• Em Universidades Públicas o exame de 
  seleção é um funil muito forte.
• Por exemplo, na Unicamp, apenas 6% dos 
  candidatos conseguem se matricular. 
• Programa de Ação Afirmativa e Inclusão Social 
  (PAAIS): Consegue melhorar a situação, 
  mantendo em aproximadamente 30% o 
  percentual de matriculados (e inscritos) de 
  escolas públicas.
Cursos de Alta Demanda




Porcentagem de alunos de escolas públicas matriculados nos cursos
 com nota mínima de aprovação no vestibular igual ou superior a 48
Aproximadamente 40% com mais de dois anos de cursinho
• em 2008, 54 escolas (de um
total de 99) não tiveram nenhum
aluno matriculado !!

• em 2009, 56 escolas (de um
total de 99) não tiveram nenhum
aluno matriculado !!
