Repercussion

Changes to the second edition

• We are going to improve the “quality education” indicator

• The number of evaluated courses will raise from 20 to 30 (the courses that most graduate in Brazil)

• We will include a new indicator: internacionalization. This is considerer the number of faculty and students from abroad

• We still don’t know how to reach the formal students from the universities!
