## National Rankings

### Ranking Universitário Folha

[edit]

Since 2012, Brazil's largest newspaper Folha de S. Paulo has organized a national ranking of universities[1] with criteria akin to those used by better known worldwide rankings: research, teaching, internationalization, innovation and market value.

* View a machine-translated version of the Portuguese article.
* Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
* Consider adding a topic to this template: there are already 663 articles in the main category, and specifying`|topic=` will aid in categorization.
* Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.
* You must provide copyright attribution in the edit summary accompanying your translation by providing an interlanguage link to the source of your translation. A model attribution edit summary is `Content in this edit is translated from the existing Portuguese Wikipedia article at [[:pt:Anexo:Rankings de instituições de ensino superior brasileiras#Ranking de acordo com o Índice Geral de Cursos (IGC)]]; see its history for attribution.`
* You may also add the template `{{Translated|pt|Anexo:Rankings de instituições de ensino superior brasileiras#Ranking de acordo com o Índice Geral de Cursos (IGC)}}` to the talk page.

Higher education evaluations are also conducted by the Brazilian Government; specifically by Inep (Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais; English: National Institute of Studies and Research). The Government uses a General Index of Courses (Portuguese: Índice Geral de Cursos [pt]; IGC) to determine the quality of Brazilian's higher education (graduate and post-graduate courses) in Brazil. Universidade de São Paulo, one of the most prestigious universities in the country, has been participating in the IGC since 2013 as part of a technical cooperation with Inep that will last three years, during which time the results concerning the university's courses will not be disclosed. Only then will the university decide whether to fully participate in the government evaluation.[1]
