The purpose of this study is to understand students' perceived meanings related to ethnic-racial relations, racism, and the construction of a Black identity in school. This study was conducted at the Territorial Center for Vocational Education (CETEP) - Sertão Produtivo in Caetité, Bahia. The contributions of Boaventura Souza Santos (2003), Kabengele Munanga (1994, 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2009), Hélio Santos (2003 and 2008), Paulo Freire (1996, 2001, 2009 and 2011), Gomes (2008 and 2011), Valente (1995) and Sacristán (2000), among others, support this study. Methodologically, references to ethno-racial issues and empirical data from the content analysis of statements of students of the Secretarial Course of Technical Vocational Education in High Schools, offered by the National Program for the Integration of Vocational Education with Basic Education in the Modality of Youth and Adult Education (PROEJA) of CETEP-Productive Hinterland, are presented. The results show, in the statements of the students, the lack of in-depth studies on ethnic-racial issues in the school curriculum, which could allow the construction of a positive identity of the black population. To this end, it is pointed out the need for effective intervention by government agencies to ensure teacher training that includes studies on ethno-racial and political issues in schools, to guarantee equality and meet the demands of social movements and the recognition of the cultural contribution of Afro-Brazilians.
