The objective of this study is to investigate the future perspectives of third year high school students and to investigate how the development of the educational processes by the institutions (family, school, and governments) is aimed at the inclusion of their students in access to higher education and The development of new personal and professional perspectives in the life of these subjects. In this way, the research is relevant to know the perspectives of adolescents in relation to higher education so that the training institutions can better meet the needs and perspectives of these subjects. In a qualitative way, the research was carried out during the month of August 2016, through semi-structured interviews with 16 participants, aged 16 to 18 years, from a public school located in the urban area of the city of Bragança-PA. Higher education is the highest level of academic training, also offered by public institutions, with access through the ENEM, as well as other policies implemented for access to higher education. It was observed that adolescents present perspectives regarding higher education, but they are frustrated by the existing inequalities, not feeling included in the educational process. Governments have invested and built effective measures of access to higher education, but other measures need to be taken and other actions taken by training institutions to ensure knowledge of the beneficiary systems and entry into higher education. As well as schools need to provide the means for students to achieve their goals by instructing them to enter Higher Education.
