A historic landmark
Pedro Paulo Ayrosa, institutional coordinator of UAB at UEL and coordinator of Nead/UEL, celebrated the achievement. “This is the first time that UEL has a record number of places approved for federal funding from Capes for undergraduate and postgraduate courses and national projects. This is a historic milestone”, declared Ayrosa.
This achievement reflects the joint effort of universities in Paraná and a democratic articulation to identify the demands of institutions and municipalities in the State. Today, Paraná has 64 UAB centers distributed across all regions.
The trajectory of EaD at UEL
The UAB System, created by the Federal Government in 2006 and linked to Capes, aims to qualify basic education teachers, democratize access to higher education and encourage municipal development through professional training. UEL, through Nead, began its activities in 2009 and integrated into the UAB System in 2011.
Since then, Nead/UEL has trained approximately 3 students in various specialization and undergraduate courses. It currently serves around 550 students on courses such as Degree in Computing, Technologist in Public Management, Specialization in Computer Technology in Education and Specialization in Digital Education.
With the opening of 3 thousand places in distance Undergraduate and Specialization courses, UEL consolidates itself as an institution committed to the democratization and quality of education. This initiative not only expands access to higher education, but also strengthens the training of professionals throughout Brazil. It is a promising new chapter in the history of the State University of Londrina.
