Abstract

There is a large historical tradition in Mexico about the Technical School Councils (TSC) translated into administrative activities, but as a result of the 2013 labor reform aimed at teachers, the TSC were reinstated with a new pedagogical orientation. 

In this perspective, this qualitative study, based on observations of the TSC throughout a school cycle and supported by focused interviews, aims to observe how in these events the teachers' resistance to the work intensification policy is manifested. In this phenomenon, it is possible to identify the tensions that arise in these meetings. However, as the problem is very complex, only two aspects are analyzed in this article: one, the application of the minimum normality to regulate teachers' work; and, two, the establishment of an excessive administrative burden.
