The aim was also to analyse how secretarial students perceive stereotypes at university and the process of disqualifying secretaries. The existence of racial criteria for professional integration is perceived by the students. The evaluation of the participants depended on the colour of their skin, the teaching institution and the semester in progress.The results allow for a discussion on strategies for tackling racial discrimination.
