This publication seeks to contribute to the implementation and follow-up of the new proposal to build a model of Secondary Education integrated with Vocational Education in Brazil. It not only provides a legal framework supporting the design and integration of the proposed model but provides two case studies that showcase the implementation of integrated educational policies. Recommendations have been provided to stimulate further integration initiatives. These include the need for systemic capacity building actions for educational personnel, directors and technicians so that they can design, plan and implement curricula with a perspective of flexibility, innovation, creativity and boldness, and so that they can use methodologies that are active, context-based and inter and trans-disciplinary.
