Under this theme we hope to talk to as many staff and students as possible about how Brazilian Universities on the one hand engage with students and on the other hand manage their expectations.
We plan to explore the general context of HE in Brazil, what public information is made available to prospective students and what the expectations are around student support - not just in the financial sense, but concerning what we in the UK might think of as 'pastoral care'.
People familiar with UK HE will probably be wrestling with the National Student Survey even as I type, so what systems do they have for gathering student feedback and evaluation in Brazil, and how do they respond to messages from students?
And we'll also be trying to find out the extent to which students are represented within Brazilian Universities, and what the role of Students' Unions is.
I'm quite sure we'll find out lots of other things too, that we hadn't ever thought about.
If you have any suggestions for questions we might ask or topics you think we should be exploring, please let us know by adding a comment!
