As part of the interiorization program of public higher education in Brazil, and following the dismemberment of the Federal University of Pará (UFPA), the Federal University of South and Southeast of Pará (Unifesspa) was created in 2013 in the Eastern Amazon. In 2014, the Araguaia Engineering Institute (IEA) of Unifesspa was set up in the city of Santana of Araguaia, providing a licentiate degree course in Mathematics. The bachelor’s degree in civil engineering was added in 2018, and architecture and urbanism in 2019. Santana of Araguaia is a relatively new municipality, located in the state of Pará, away from the main centralities and between the borders of agribusiness and the Amazon. Our research analyzed the evolution of the first years of this university campus in the municipal and regional contexts and reports the development indexes of IEA and Santana do Araguaia. It is observed that there are numerous challenges to improving this asymmetry; however, the interiorization of public higher education does have the potential to overcome some of this inequality, stimulate the development, and guarantee the right to public, free, and quality higher education.

巴西 Santana do Araguaia 公立高等教育的内部化

作为巴西公立高等教育内部化计划的一部分，在帕拉联邦大学 (UFPA) 解体后，帕拉州南部和东南部联邦大学 (Unifesspa) 于 2013 年在亚马逊东部成立。2014 年，Unifesspa 的阿拉瓜亚工程学院（IEA）在阿拉瓜亚的桑塔纳市成立，提供数学专业学位课程。2018 年增加了土木工程学士学位，2019 年增加了建筑和城市规划。阿拉瓜亚的桑塔纳是一个相对较新的城市，位于帕拉州，远离主要中心，位于农业综合企业和亚马逊的边界之间。我们的研究分析了该大学校园最初几年在城市和区域背景下的演变，并报告了 IEA 和 Santana do Araguaia 的发展指数。据观察，改善这种不对称性存在许多挑战；然而，公立高等教育的内部化确实有可能克服部分不平等，刺激发展，并保障公众、免费和优质高等教育的权利。
