UNIASSELVI receives the maximum grade for potential offering of digital undergraduate course in Law
19 Juli 2021 - 2:52PM
Vitru Limited, or Vitru (Nasdaq: VTRU), today announced that the
Brazilian Ministry of Education (Ministério da Educação), or the
MEC, assessed and granted the highest grade (concept 5) in
connection with the authorization process to allow Uniasselvi, the
Vitru group’s higher education institution and commercial brand in
Brazil, to offer a digital undergraduate course in Law.
Part of the process with the MEC to allow
Uniasselvi to offer a digital undergraduate course in Law was
completed in early July. This differentiated and innovative project
is an important milestone in the process to approve the offering of
digital Law courses.
To assign the maximum grade, the MEC applied
three criteria: Didactic-Pedagogical Organization, Faculty and
Tutors and Infrastructure.
The next steps in this process are (i) the
review of such evaluation process by the Seres (Secretaria de
Regulação e Supervisão do Ensino Superior, or Secretariat for
Regulation and Supervision of Higher Education); and (ii) the
publication of the Ordinance related to completion of the legal
regulatory procedures of the MEC in connection with the
authorization process for the digital undergraduate course in Law,
following which Uniasselvi will be authorized to offer the course
to 22,200 students annually.
The latest data published by the MEC about
undergraduate Law Courses showed that, in 2019, 744 thousand
students were enrolled in private on-campus Law courses, comprising
approximately 18% of all private undergraduate on-campus students.
The authorization to offer digital undergraduate courses in Law is
a significant opportunity for the digital education segment in
Brazil.
Vitru is committed to continue delivering
innovative and quality solutions for its students and is proud to
have this reflected by this grade 5 awarded to Uniasselvi by the
MEC.
