Brasilia - The Committee on Constitution and Justice (CCJ) the Senate approved a bill that allows 50% of jobs in federal and state universities for students who attended high school in full public. The same percentage will be applied in federal education technical level.

The matter will still be voted on in two other committees - Education and Social Affairs. Proposal already approved by the Board, half of the 50% envisaged in the project will be reserved for students from families with incomes at or below minimum wage and a half per capita.

There is also a racial dimension in the choice of students who will occupy 50% of the vacancies. The filling will be done by course and turn in a preferential way for students who autodeclararem blacks, mulattos and Indians. For calculation purposes, will be taken into account in proportion to their population in the Brazilian state where you installed the educational institution, based on the last census of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE).

In the case of not filling vacancies, according to the criteria, the surplus will be completed by students who have completed full secondary education in public schools without any racial distinction.

At the House bill, the federal government has a period of ten years from the date of enactment of the law to suit the new rules. During this period, there will be a review of program access in higher education institutions.

In its opinion, Senator Ana Rita (EN-ES) says that the adoption of legislation punishing the crime of racism is insufficient to reduce the asymmetry between whites and blacks. "According to data from the Institute of Applied Economic Research (IPEA), the Brazilian blacks, browns and blacks constitute 49.5% of the population and are in a situation of great inequality in relation to whites in all social indicators," said
Senator.
