If well completed, technical education efficiently plays the role of 'articulator' of subjects central to basic training, such as Portuguese, History, Biology, in addition to making the student understand that technical learning establishes a direct connection between his personal life and professional. This finding is as true as saying that technical schools are those whose students get the best grades in entrance exams, compared to their public school peers, in addition to contradicting the retrograde thought that the former would not advance to the higher grade.
In this regard, it is worth remembering that, in addition to the 'hustle' surrounding the implementation of the New Secondary School - the subject of a request for an extension by the states - little or no importance was given to the adoption of a new rule, which allows colleges to validate, as credits, disciplines taken in technical education.

The initiative would aim to cover training gaps, both in technical and higher education, with a view to qualifying future professionals for the labor market.
