Abstract

For decades, Brazil's public universities have suffered from budget cuts, inadequate management of public assets and purse, and an increasingly precarious condition for teaching and learning. This, not only in terms of the physical structure, equipment and consumables, but also with regard to the valorization of work in this environment and the support of human resources, for technical, administrative and teaching activities. The objective of this chapter is to describe the challenges for the training of students in the undergraduate course in Dentistry. A report based on the experiences as teachers in public institutions of Higher Education (HEIs) and by the claims listed by students.
