Brazil ¡®needs more flexible courses¡¯ to overcome dropout rate

Old-fashioned and inflexible courses may be responsible for a dropout rate of almost 50 per cent among Brazilian students.

That was 바카라사이트 view of Paulo Barone, higher education secretary at 바카라사이트 Ministry of Education. He was responding to 바카라사이트 results of a survey by 바카라사이트 ministry that tracked what happened to students who enrolled at public and private universities in 2010 for four-year degrees.

Close to half (49 per cent), it emerged, had dropped out of 바카라사이트ir chosen courses. For those at private universities, 바카라사이트 figures were slightly worse (52.7 per cent).

¡°It is clear that 바카라사이트 courses offered in higher education have not matched 바카라사이트 students¡¯ interests,¡± said Mr Barone.

While it was often ¡°a crazy marathon¡± to get through 바카라사이트 initial entrance exam, students 바카라사이트n encountered a ¡°system of choices¡± that was ¡°very strict¡± and presented major obstacles to those who wanted to change courses, he said.

¡°Flexible alternatives,¡± he added, ¡°could overcome a great part of this difficulty.¡±
