In 1976, CAPES launched the Graduate Education Evaluation System, which has played a crucial role in the development of graduate education and scientific and technological research in Brazil. It carries out annual monitoring and triennial evaluations of the performance of all programs and courses in the National Graduate Education System (SNPG). The results of this process, expressed in a score on a scale of 1 to 7, are used by the Education Ministry’s National Education Council to decide which courses will remain classified as “recognized” for the subsequent three-year period.
