As part of a collaborative research project on civic education, conversations between high school teachers and faculty were analyzed from the perspective of indicators of secularism, namely, freedom of conscience and religion as they relate to tolerance, equality of rights, fraternity, emancipation, separation between church and state, and law and order. The results show that, according to these educators, the role of the school is paramount to the learning of social behaviour and that some values related to secularism are actualized in the context of teaching history and civic education, such as the primacy of human rights, emancipation, and the importance of the public space.
