SUMMARY:

Brazilian higher education is historically structured on the basis of unequal relations regarding the insertion and permanence of students, so that the elites are privileged to the detriment of the working class, which is a characteristic of capitalist sociability. The 2000s represented a favorable period for policies of expansion and inclusion at this level of education; the bear fruits of this period are the FIES, ProUni, REUNI, the Quota Law and the PNAES. This set of policies strengthened higher education in the country, and brought with it the diversification of the public that attended Brazilian higher education institutions. The institution's expansion and the reservation of places was not enough to fulfill the goal of democratizing this level of education, which led the government to invest in actions to support the permanence of students in universities. However, from 2016, this scenario of democratization began to suffer threats, being finally compromised with the enactment of the Constitutional Amendment 95/2016, which limits public expenditure on education and health until the year of 2036, in a way that compromises the transfer of funds from PNAES to institutions. This study aimed to reveal the configuration of student assistance in the context of dismantlement for undergraduate students at UFRN. For this purpose, we started with the method of historical-cultural psychology, which guided the execution of the entire research process. First, we carried out a survey about the history of Brazilian higher education; we searched institutional information from UFRN; we dedicated ourselves to a field observation and, finally, we applied an online questionnaire to the institution's undergraduate students that were able to be assisted by the PNAES. In the first part of this work, we discussed categories and important concepts to situate our position on the studied theme; then we detailed the research method and methodology; at last, we presented the results and discussion. The results indicates the importance of student assistance as a resource for the permanence of students at UFRN, although it is not enough to supply their needs; it was also possible to observe that there is uncertainty among students regarding the continuity of the assistance offered in this context of dismantlement of educational policies; in addition, the students revealed that this insecurity comes from the cuts in funds combined with the management of the PNAES in the institution. Other noteworthy results refer to the importance of student assistance during the pandemic and the academic performance of students.
