SUMMARY:
This research analyzed the process of internationalization of private higher education in Brazil, with emphasis on the context of the acquisition of Universidade Potiguar by the educational conglomerate Laureate International Universities and its repercussions on teaching work. It takes as reference the current configuration of the private-commercial internationalization of Brazilian higher education, which in the context of financialization adopts the form of oligopolies, assuming as a management model practices of corporate governance that have modified institutional structures and teaching work. In this context of liberalization of educational services, education is no longer seen as a public good, but as a commodity, at the service of capital. The research is anchored in historical-dialectical materialism as a theoretical-methodological framework and uses, above all, the categories totality, mediation and contradiction to investigate the implications of financialization. As methodological procedures, bibliographical research, literature review, questionnaire and document analysis were used. It was found that the corporate governance strategies and the expansion of enrollments of private-mercantile institutions were greatly influenced by financialized capital and neoliberal policies and that there was a strong process of mass enrollment in recent decades, mainly in institutions of capital open source, such as Laureate/UNP. Even with the significant increase in enrollments, UNP Laureate reduced its teaching staff, which went through two massive layoffs in the last six years and hired a smaller number of professionals with part-time and hourly work. This measure reduces the teachers' labor benefits, causing contractual instability and promoting a process of work intensification, since the new hires had the expansion of their work, encompassing all classes, which have an exacerbated number of students. The defended thesis that changes in the form of organization of commodified institutions, with the implementation of corporate governance practices, bring implications for teaching work, has been proven. We emphasize that the consequences, especially for UNP Laureate, were to promote a strong process of precariousness, flexibility and intensification of teaching work.
