The goal of this article is to provide a better comprehension of the problems youths have been faced with in their relationship with school and with knowledge in vulnerable areas. The matter under analysis is a survey applied to 669 students in the second grade of secondary education in 24 state schools situated in 17 municipalities in the Brazilian states of Ceará, Goiás, Pernambuco and São Paulo. The research identifies in the students responses differences both of profile between those attending part-time and full-school and of how they face the job market and the continuity of their education.  Finally, it calls attention to the problematic of the diversification of secondary education’s offers and how it may increase inequality, the latter being a question that arises if we compare the expectation of part-time and full school students.
