All participants applied for an examination exam to obtain a position for working in the Mexican public schools. The objective of the study was determining if the characteristics and professional trajectory of the teachers who passed the examination of the Professional Teaching System are different from those of the professors who obtained their degree in other public or private institutions. Methodology: (1) Meta-analysis of the databases of the Educational Evaluation Center of the Ministry of Education of the Government of the State of Yucatan. (2) A survey was administered to 30 of the 43 teachers who participated in the first stage of the study. The survey aimed to know teacher professional development choices after three years of approving the professional teacher examination. Results indicate that there are three groups of teachers, those who graduated from Normal Schools, those graduated from other higher education institutions seeking professional development, and other graduated from higher education institutions that recently entered the system and have no interest in professional development.
