During President Lula’s terms, the government approved some important policies for Professional Education in Brazil. This article will analyze the narratives of twosubjects about this process and also will seek to support its history while restoring and reordering the events of this recent past. This research has a social and qualitative nature and uses the ethnographic methodology as basis for data production and analysis, grounded on participant observation, field diary and semi-structured interviews that were recorded in audio and video. Data analysis will use theories from different areas, such as vocational and technological education, social memory, discourses and narratives. It also will search for the relations between the theoretical framework and the produced/empirical data,clarifying and filling the blanks of the historical social dynamics at that moment. In this article, we analyzed the memory narratives of two politicians, Eliezer Pacheco and Cláudia Schiedeck Soares de Souza, both professors, regarding the elitism of the universities educational offer and the need of expanding theenrollments of High School and Technical Education (integrated education) to the society. Whilst analyzing these discourses, we could notice that the shift of Cefets into Technological Universities would not be able to keep the access for thesecondary education integrated to the technical programs. Facing the socialpressure at that time, it was possible to discuss and frame a new institutionality that nowadays accounts for the largest educational offer of High School/Technical programs in the country.
