Carolina Rossini has published an article on open educational resources in Brazil. From the abstract:
The government also plays a major role in the markets, with taxpayer monies the largest single investor in scientific and professional books for higher education in Brazil. This role of “single investor” plays out in multiple areas which give origin to the textbooks: since unlike most countries, the federal and state public Universities in Brazil are free 69, the payment of salaries for employees and professors come from the University budget (and this from the government) and a great number of scholarships, including for master and doctoral level, are provided.
Thanks to Pumpkin Yang for the link.
