500 recipient institutions can exchange debt for 90% of full scholarships
 
The full Senate approved on Wednesday (27), the exchange of a debt of R$ 15 billion of private universities by 560,000 in scholarships ProUni (University for All Program). The proposal was included in the House in a provisional measure that had as its main object allow Eletrobras take a controlling stake in Celg (Power Plants Goiás). The bill goes to the sanction of the President Rousseff. The government leader, Eduardo Braga (PMDB-AM), highlights that the increase of grants will be significant for education.

- This means a 30% increase in the number of jobs for college scholarships for higher education in private schools in Brazil.
 
The measure benefits about 500 institutions, fewer than half of them universities and community colleges, especially in Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina - which explains the commitment of the parliamentary groups of the two States, and especially the Minister of Institutional Relations, Ideli Salvatti, which is Santa Catarina.

The idea of including the project in MP 559 - received as an addendum to the vote of the DRC (Differentiated System Procurement) to the PAC - was the Civil House, to speed up proceedings, the next to be voted by the House. The institutions will exchange 90% of your debts for educational scholarships. The other 10% must be paid to the Union All scholarships will be full - today ProUni accepts a certain number of partial scholarships, 50% of tuition - and will be vacancies in all courses, as the number of vacancies offered paid.

All selection will be made by ProUni system with the same criteria of minimum marks from Enem (National Exam of Secondary Education) and the same crop income - up to three minimum wages of family income. The 560 000 jobs will not be offered at once, but in 15 years with a grace period. This is because in some cases, the value of the debt is so high that the amount of bags would make the operation of the institution.

Despite debt, negotiating with the institutions was not easy. The main problem was to extend the scholarships to all courses. Initially, the rectors wanted only offering places on courses less crowded, such as degrees. The program, called Proies, bring another benefit to universities: will that leave the register of delinquent government.
With it, you can redeem the credits they are entitled to the Student Funding Fies.
