add me too, please.
thank you

Hello Diego, thank you for your answer.
Yes, I agree with you it is a really bad choice of the government. I think it is the worse way to view the educational system. It doesn't matter how long it will last but, indeed, how good it is.
But, at least nowadays, this thought is not so popular here. I hope Colombia won't do the same thing.

Thank you for your answer, again.

It's a pleasure to meet you.
have a nice day.

Hello everybody!
I just want to present some changes occurred in master here, in Brazil from 1990's to now.
Master used to last 3 years and doctorate used to last 4 years or more.

But around 20 years ago the government is getting it lower. Nowadays, master lasts 2 years, but also doctorate lasts only 3 years. Although, in the doctorate case you can extend it for more 1 year.

The government want to turn it shorter and be able to posgraduate people more and more, and as faster as they can. It's so complicated, this reduction in time can be responsible to a poorer reaserch in Brazil and in our professors who don't have time enough to study about too many things else from your own reaserch.

I don't know whether it is happening in other countries but here it is. And it is worring people.

I hope it be useful to the discussion and sorry about mistakes.
