Abstract

The present text covers some of the changes that the installation of schooling as legitimate mechanism of social positioning among young students from the municipal secondary education system in Chile is producing. The thesis is that this process is changing the strategies of reproduction in these social groups, which expresses itself both in the configuration of life projects in the plane of educational paths and in one way to move into adulthood.
