This paper presents partial results of the interinstitutional research, entitled ‘Evaluation and Expansion Policies for Higher Education in post-LDB/1996 Brazil’ undertaken by researchers affiliated to the Work Group on Higher Education Policies in the National Association for Research and Post Graduate Studies – GT 11/ANPEd. The research is part of the UNIVERSITAS/BR Integrated Project which seeks to investigate more thoroughly the phenomenon of higher education expansion and evaluation in Brazil after 1996. The analysis describes the global and local contexts in which higher education expansion policies and concepts of assessment were drawn up during the governments of Fernando Henrique Cardoso (1995-1998 and 1999-2002) and of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003 -2006 and 2007-2010). It concludes that the major challenge of the moment is how to provide an ongoing evaluation process which will guarantee an increase in places in higher education, while at the same time, responding to the demand for quality education.
