The geostrategic repositioning of Portugal in the post-war world period and the transformations in Portuguese social formation led to changes in educational policy, recognizing education as playing a key role in economic growth, based on the theory of human capital. Concerns were focused on the training of qualified human resources, on valuing school capital, and on promoting educational planning. The evolution of the objectives and curricular structure of lyceum secondary schools is analyzed, including the creation of the preparatory cycle for secondary education, calling for written sources submitted to document analysis using the critical method and to analysis of content. The purposes to be attributed to lyceum secondary education are the central issue in regard to lyceum secondary schools in promoting the schooling of a wider range of Portuguese people. It is a process that is carried out based on inequality of access to education.
