The objective was to reflect on the inequalities among high school teachers in the Paraíba state network regarding the categories of sex, color/race, and education. A bibliographic review and a descriptive analysis of the data bank of the State Secretary of Education were carried out. It was identified that the majority is female and black. As for education, however, black female teachers are the majority only among the graduates and specialists, while black male teachers are the majority among the masters and white female teachers among the doctors. We emphasize the need for the formulation of public policies aimed at democratizing access to and permanence in Higher Education and affirmative action for entry into public service and for professional advancement in the teaching career.
