Abstract

The objective of this work is to analyze the expansion connections of higher education (College) in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS) shaped by the interiorization strategy and, more specifically, by the action of Universidade Estadual de Mato Grosso do Sul (UEMS) in the cities which obtained good results in the Basic Education Developmental Rate (IDEB) in order to understand these strategical details and the bonds of the institutional actions with the Basic Education. Therefore, the methodological procedure used was the documental research, statistical analyses and field research, which enabled the observation of the UEMS performance in the cities where its campus were situated and which had good results in the IDEB, for example, Amambai, Naviraí and Paranaíba. UEMS was inaugurated in 1.994, through the interiorization process, and this university has as its mission the improvement in the quality of Basic Education. In this sense, the results of the research show the existence of connections between UEMS and IDEB results in the cities of MS. These connections are highlighted in the development of actions as for research, extension and teaching of UEMS. The research and the extension in a lower level of contribution deserve a higher articulation and institutionalization which is more specific to the Basic Education. Nevertheless, specially, by means of teaching, the contribution of this university presents itself as more effective because it offer graduation courses in the licentiate modality, which was a priori focused on the initial formation of the teachers, including the Normal Superior course, which was made effective as a modality of service formation.
