SUMMARY:

Acquiring a college diploma and skills represent an important credential for obtaining higher income and employability. However, for social minorities, such as students from public schools, black, brown and indigenous people and students from low-income families, the chance of success in entering higher education is more remote. The Quota Law and other affirmative action policies aim to make this access more equal, however, they also raise animosity in the public debate about its effectiveness and pertinence. Focused in the affirmative action policies in Brazilian higher education, especially the Quota Law, as an object of analysis this thesis, consisting of two essays, aims to evaluate the impact of affirmative actions on student performance in the 2019 ENADE, and to evaluate the impact of affirmative actions on flow indicators (dropout and completion rates) of Brazilian public HEIs. The first essay estimates a matching model by propensity score of students completing courses evaluated in the 2019 edition of Enade. The second essay employs the estimation of a panel data model, based on a panel composed of microdata from the Higher Education Census and Higher Education Flow Indicators of public HEIs in the interstice from 2010 to 2016. In both studies , among other samples in the sample, the courses are stratified by level of selectivity. The first test showed that although white IFES students are the ones with the best performance on the ENADE test, when paired by observable characteristics, quota students for any type of quota perform better than their counterparts in all subsamples. Quota holders by racial criterion, among students with higher income, and PPI students eligible for quotas, in more selective courses, have lower performances than their respective counterparts. Low-income shareholders, on the other hand, outperform their counterparts in any subsample considered. The second essay evidenced that, based on the impact of reservation of vacancies on the flow indicators, although in several cases there is no statistical significance, or the value is of small magnitude, in general, affirmative actions do not worsen the indicators of flow. The criteria for booking places based on income was the affirmative action profile that generated the most relevant impact, providing higher dropout rates and lower completion rates. The exception was in low selectivity courses. Thus, this thesis shows that the affirmative action policies instituted in Brazilian HEIs, especially the Law of Quotas in IFES, were effective in promoting inclusion and diversification in higher education without compromising the quality of courses, in terms of student performance. quota holders in Enade and the trajectory of students. Therefore, with the need to incorporate adjustments, specifically in the assistance of the most vulnerable students, it is recommended that the policy be continued with a view to achieving its objective.
