Brazil’s National Public Communication Network, headed by EBC, is about to undergo the biggest expansion in its history. At an event at the presidential palace this week, cooperation agreements were signed with 31 federal universities for the operation of 72 new radio and TV stations.
The president pledged to protect the autonomy of universities, with rectors named by the academic community. Meetings should be held yearly to bring goals into alignment.
Brazilian Minister Abraham Weintraub told the press Friday that (Oct 18) the budget for all of the country’s federal universities has been restored.
