2.5: Brazilian Higher Education

Today our guest is Professor Marcelo Knobel.  He is a highly respected Physicist and Science Educator.  He also holds the rare distinction of having been a rector both at one of Brazil’s top public universities, Universidade Estadual de Campinas or UNICAMP and also at a rising private university, the Insper Institute of Education and Research in Sao Paolo.  And that makes him a fantastically knowledgeable guide to the growth, structure and politics of higher education in Brazil.
