Brasilia - Starting this month, students are receiving scholarships to graduate with the values adjusted. For students, even with the increase, the value is insufficient to pay the bills, be able to travel, present papers, buy books and devote himself exclusively to research. Entities operating in the sector call for better conditions, but the Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Capes) says he has to choose to increase the value or amount of grants and benefit more students.
Nacinal The Association of Post-graduate (ANPG) want greater appreciation of handbags, with adjustments only covered part of the recent inflationary losses and not meant real gain. Students claim a readjustment index that ensures the constant value of the scholarships and differentiation of values by state, so that the gain is sufficient to sustain the locations they choose.
The vice president of the Midwest Regional ANPG, Fábio Borges says that the increase which receive this month is an achievement, but falls short of the need of the students. "It's still short of what should be research and graduate education in Brazil, and the problem intensifies with inequality cost of living in different regions.'s One thing to live in Brasília, another is living in Recife and another inside the Spirit Ghost. Regional imbalances should be considered when thinking about the value of the scholarships. "
According to the last survey in 2012 were 77 900 bags of powders in the country offered by Capes. Added to the Scholarship Program Initiation to Teaching, 127 000 were offered in all disciplines. The National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), were about 81 000 scholarships in all disciplines in the same year, according to the Ministry of Education.
"We have to choose to increase the value and increase the number of scholarships. We chose to increase the amount of scholarships," said the president of the Capes, Jorge Guimarães. According to him, 79% of the budget of the local authority go to the payment of grants. "Graduate education is a personal investment and the government still helps. Being a student is not profession.'s An investment for a period but then will lead to many rewards such as higher wages," he explained.
Guimarães said that an index is not a viable proposal considered, among other reasons, because of difficulty in approving the Congress such a proposal and a budget geared to adjustments. The regional differentiation, he said, also not discussed by Capes. Jorge Guimarães strengthened, however, the importance of this phase: "Having more postgraduates signifca sustain the development of the country with the most qualified people. Graduation provides a more informative training. Already the post is formative, students are preparing for the labor market. "
