Summary: | The paper discusses the regular full-time school as coming from the new policies for high school, considering its expansion in the state of Ceará. Using participant observation, data collection, literature review and individual interviews as a methodological resource, we sought to trace the perspectives assumed by the full-time school regarding its political, social, economic and cultural function, as well as the meaning of school time for young people who reach high school. The results, albeit partial, point to the full-time school as a product of globalization that requires a new posture of public school and secondary education, simultaneously modified by the way school agents, especially young people, enjoy time and school space.
