The OECD review report for Paraná is available here
The executive summary is available here
Paraná is one of the most prosperous states in Brazil and has invested in higher education, science and technology, and public-private partnerships. Its higher education scene is dominated by federal and state universities, but the private sector enrolls a much higher number of students, particularly from low socio-economic backgrounds. Faced with growing global competition, this publication explores how the higher education sector in Paraná can promote business formation, develop the existing industry and small and medium-sized enterprises and address the long-term challenges of poverty and inequality.
The OECD Review of Higher Education in Regional Development in Northern Paraná was carried out in 2005-07.
