The aim of this paper is to discuss issues related to the teacher work and secondary school enrollment. For that purpose, the statistical information provided by the National Institute of Anisio Teixeira Educational Studies (Inep) is used to discuss enrollment issues, educational indicators and the teacher work at high school. Based on discussions held, it highlights the goals related to the regular secondary school and teaching contained in the Draft Law Nº 8035, as of 2010. Empirical data express the challenges relating to enrollment, teacher training, infrastructure, remuneration, work load and teaching careers, and may contribute to the discussion on the definition of policies for secondary school education so that all young Brazilians become managers.
