The central focus of the article is Paraíba's integral education policy for high school, exposing the development of its historical process, its foundations in the public-private partnership, the pedagogical and administrative model adopted in schools and the privatization policies in the context of public education.

Data were analyzed from the categories: workload, teacher evaluation, relationship with school management, didactic autonomy and remuneration.
