Abstract

In this paper, we try to explore data on temporary teachers in the Basic Education School Census (2011-2015). The hiring of teachers reveals one of the faces of the precariousness of teaching work in Brazil, whose perversity affects the lives of almost one million temporary teachers who work in Basic Education. It is the portrait of a daily tragedy, 41% of teachers work without being sure of the continuity of their activities, deprived of the possibility of planning in the long term their didactic-pedagogical relations, oblivious of the choice of resources and materials or even planning . They are teachers who need to discover, at each end of the contract, how they will continue to make a living, while they are responsible - and held accountable - for the education of 48.8 million students. The tragedy is not new or fleeting, but characteristic of the Brazilian educational structure.
