Abstract

The present dissertation is developed under the Professional Master in Management and Evaluation of Education (PPGP) of the Center for Public Policies and Education Evaluation of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAEd / UFJF). The management case to be studied will discuss the possibilities of the Pro-Rectory of Student Assistance and Inclusive Education (PROAE) of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF) from a broader view of the student assistance policy In view of the reduction of the different forms of social inequality, since the managers who took over the sector in August 2014 proposed to re-signify student support for a relationship with students that goes beyond financial support, simply. The objective defined for this study was to know the students perception regarding the Student Assistance Policy at UFJF. We assume as a hypothesis that there is a culture in the UFJF in which student assistance has long maintained its main focus of activity in actions that aim at material support through grants and financial aid in detriment of other actions developed by the team, Provided for in Decree 7.234 / 2010. The qualitative research and the case study were used as methodologies and as a semistructured interview instrument. It was possible to confirm that, in fact, there is a misunderstanding, both on the part of the institution and on the part of the students, regarding the concept and purpose of the Student Assistance. Therefore, actions were proposed in order to re-signify it and make it more proactive in situations of evasion and retention.
