This article discusses the process of expansion and redefinition of the objectives of technical schools in Brazil. Th e study shows that the recent changes of technical and technological education bring in its jowls part of expansionary reform of public higher education, already provided for in the Law of Guidelines and Bases (LDB N.º 9394/96), for the debate of the restructuring defocusing in Brazilian public university. However, when performing this process the government created a new modality of institution – Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology (IF) with the same prerogatives of universities, technical schools of basic education, of university centers of technological education and training units for young and adults. We concluded that the expansion of higher education to the IF and the flexibilisation of the institutional model is part of the cognitive reordering of the labor force and crumble the training of the worker.
