Abstract

This study aims to explain the importance of the right to education as a means of inserting people in a fairer and more egalitarian society. This is correlated with the relevance of the application of affirmative actions by the Federal Government in Higher Education Institutions, having as a field of study the implementation of the Heteroidentification Commission to combat fraud in admission by quotas at the Federal University of Triângulo Mineiro (UFTM). We will consider the historical application of the quota system and the present situation, reviewing Brazilian legislation. We will discuss the specificities of the differentiation of social and racial quotas and the form of application in the institution, mentioning the criteria used for admission, as well as the benefited groups. We will carry out a study of the implementation of the heteroidentification commission in order to inhibit fraud in entering the institution through the quota system, outlining all the measures that were taken to implement and implement the project, prescribing the initial acts of the public hearings on its place in the Institution, until the final acts, as the criteria used in the interviews for the admission of students. This will culminating with the creation of a pamphlet, using the experience of the Federal University of Triângulo Mineiro (UFTM) for the implementation of Heteroidentification Committees to assist other Federal Institutions of Higher Education (IFES).
