Abstract

The article aims to analyze the structure, normative frameworks, and educational policies that shape Technical Education integrated with Secondary Education in Brazil, highlighting its historical transformations and presenting an updated educational panorama of this modality. The research adopts a qualitative, exploratory-descriptive approach, based on a literature review and documentary analysis of legislation, curricular guidelines, institutional reports, and educational indicators from official sources such as IBGE, INEP, MEC, and OECD. This methodological design made it possible to understand the evolution of public policies aimed at integrating general and technical education, as well as to identify advances and challenges that

characterize the consolidation of this model. The results show that, despite recent reforms, including the 1996 LDB, the BNCC, and the 2017 High School Reform — having expanded the articulation between general and professional education, challenges remain related to socioeconomic inequalities, teacher training, and student retention policies. It is concluded that Integrated Secondary Education represents a fundamental strategy to overcome the historical fragmentation of Brazilian education, promoting comprehensive and equitable training. However, its consolidation requires sustainable public policies that ensure adequate infrastructure, teacher appreciation, and equity in educational opportunities.

Keywords: integrated secondary education; professional and technological education; educational policies; comprehensive education; student retention.
