Dissertação (Mestrado Profissional em Desenvolvimento Regional) - Centro Universitário Alves Faria, 2022.https://repositorio.unialfa.com.br/handle/123456789/154Distance Education is already present in the world long before the Information Age and its development is linked to the technology of each era, in the face of technological advances. Nowadays it is part of most of those who enter the academic life. In the pandemic period, the importance of education based on virtual learning platforms became notorious, which matters in this research. The links of the Open University in Brazil with Development, especially the Goiás Regional, is of paramount importance, since Quality Education is among the SDGs listed by the UN. It can be seen that there is no need to talk about development, distancing itself from Education, which includes the Open University. It seeks to analyze the relationship between the UAB and the debate on Regional Development with a focus on the State of Goiás, thus making it necessary to understand what Distance Education is, to analyze the policy of creation and implementation of the UAB, as well as to verify the UAB's links with the Regional Development of the State of Goiás. Thus, it is necessary to demonstrate the need to review the program in the State of Goiás, because as presented between the years 2017 and 2020, there was a decline of approximately 83% in the number of courses offered by UAB in Goiás, as well as a drastic decrease in the amount of enrolled students, taking into account, in the context of the search for greater autonomy and greater investment by the government, so that it returns to being an effective public policy and that maintains the direct connection between Education and Regional Development that is sought in the State of Goiás.ptGoiásEducação a distânciaInclusão
