Migração estudantil interestadual na Universidade Federal de Goiás : políticas, sentidos e juventudes

Abstract

This Dissertation, linked to the research line Work, State and Educational Policies, developed in the Graduate Program in Education, at the State University of Goiás. Its main objective is to understand the interstate student migration, carried out by university students who enter the Federal University of Goiás as a movement of access to higher education, implied by the policies of expansion and reconfiguration of this level of education for the realization of a social right and the meanings that the students themselves attribute to this displacement. SiSU), the Support Program for Restructuring and Expansion Plans for Federal Universities (REUNI), the National Student Assistance Program (PNAES) and the Quota Law, and as an immediate consequence of them. In this way, the question is: after the adoption of SiSU, which are the social groups of students who migrated to the Federal University of Goiás? What are the meanings attributed to this movement by those who carried out the student migration? To answer these questions, the praxiological theory developed by Pierre Bourdieu was resumed, through the key concepts: field, habitus and capital. In the development of the research, I used the qualitative research approach with the use of quantitative data, in the research design, field research was used, with bibliographic and documental research sources. With regard to the collection of quantitative data, the UFG was asked to provide information about those entering the institution between 2015 and 2019. With regard to qualitative data, questionnaires were applied and interviews were conducted with 17 young people who made this displacement, from 11 Brazilian federal units. The results indicate that, in this period, UFG received students from all federal units and also from other countries, but the number of enrolled does not mean permanence in the institution. Certain courses act as an attraction factor, but the permanence rate varies according to each one. From the data obtained, it can be stated that interstate student migration is mostly made by men (54.7%), self- declared brown (43.9%) and who have entered for some quota (53.3%) . With regard to the meanings attributed to this displacement, despite the condition of migrant students that unites them, the way they experience has particularities from the social place of each student, social markers such as class, color, gender and geographic origin impact these experiences . It is estimated that among the positive aspects are personal maturity and the quality of professional training; and among the negatives, missing family and/or friends, lack of security and violence in the city of Goiânia. In addition, they attribute to SiSU the fact that they enrolled at UFG. In any case, student migrations result from educational policies for the expansion of public higher education, at the same time as constituting them, and can be understood as a strategy for continuing schooling for better professional placement.
