Abstract

With the Comprehensive Reform in High School 2008 and the obligatory nature of the High School decreed in 2012, this degree is taken up as an important fact of the educational agenda of the country. Both changes in education policy related to High School necessarily lead to reflect on the actors to understand the context in which they are conceived, an aspect indelibly addressed by educational research. This article focuses on documenting teachers’ socioeconomic, teacher training and working conditions in three different sub-systems, based in a study focused in professionalization and followed by a quantitative approach with survey-type methodology. It was concluded that the working conditions are linked to the teachers’ subsystems, and any sub-system had ideal conditions to develop teaching profession.
