Most offer student credit, setting prices and increased demand forecasting are among the main causes for the increase
After 11 years of steady decline, the average tuition at private colleges in the country ceased to fall. From 2000 to 2010, the benchmark changed from R$ 665 to R$ 482, a decrease of 27.5%. With the backdrop of renewed price, now consolidated in 2012, the adjustment of tuition already reached 7.5% compared to last year.
Most offer student credit, setting prices and increased demand forecasting are among the main causes. But for the next two years, the adjustments should not achieve strong real increases.
The data are part of the document Sectoral Analysis of Private Higher Education, produced by consulting Hoper Education. To set these values were consulted almost 16 thousand courses. "We researched the market price of undergraduate classroom and reached benchmarks that include courses in colleges of mass and premium institutions," said the coordinator of Hoper, Paulo Presse.
In 2010, the market reached the lowest level of monthly values in recent years, says Hoper analyst Alexandre Nonato. Increased competition and growth "euphoric" in enrollment since the 1990s are among factors that justify this situation.
"Values lower than these inviabilizariam financial sustainability of institutions," said Nonato. He warns, however, that this reality may have generalized a specific context in certain cities and regions. Analyzing the behavior of monthly in different states, it is possible to prove this heterogeneity and see that picture reversal was driven by the Southeast, South and Midwest. While there was a strong increase in tuition from 2011 to 2012 in Mato Grosso do Sul (30.6%) and Rio (14.2%), Tocantins and there was a decrease in Paraíba.
