DI PIERO, Emilia  e  MATALUNA, Mariana. Secondary education in institutions dependent on public universities: teaching perspectives that consolidate their prestige in Brazil and  Argentina. Trab. soc. [online]. 2018, n.30, pp.391-410. ISSN 1514-6871.

In this article we present the results of two doctoral researches, examining the views of teachers of schools in Brazil and Argentina dependent on public universities about the prestige of their institutions. In this sense, we intend to study the ways in which these teachers build and consolidate these schools as those that occupy an elite place in comparison with other educational institutions. In the first place, we present a history of the secondary school system in both countries. Next, we examine the four schools chosen, highlighting some of their main characteristics: their origins, their specific features and those ones in which they are convergent. Henceforth, we present the analysis of the privileged status that these schools occupy in the educational imaginary of their teachers. In this sense, in the eyes of these teachers, a space, constituted by an "us" that are separated from an "other" - which is supposed to be worse -, is delimited. With respect to the methodology used in this article, we triangulated research techniques such as in-depth interviews and surveys of teachers and key players of the four educational institutions. Fieldwork was carried out between 2012 and 2016.
