Abstract

The article analyses the main findings of the study "Assignments of primary education teachers graduated from higher education in Chile: an analysis of market segmentation", between September 2008 and May 2009. This study finds and analyzes assignments of 246 recently graduated teachers -2006 and 2007- of 17 higher education institutions in Chile and their relationship with their institutions as their social and educational origin identifying consistent associations between job assignments and education institutions. It also approaches the functional incorporation of the higher education system and the labor market to the "reproductionist" circle which segregates the school-system students as well as teacher training system students by their socio cultural and educational origin. Then they are trained separately for returning to the same educational subsystem from which they come.
