This article presents a study that aimed to describe the employment conditions of a group of teachers working in public, private and private institutions with extended coverage of the city of Cali. Methodologically, a quantitative approach was used, through a survey. Since there is no reliable record of the total number of teachers working in Cali, Colombia, a non-probabilistic sampling was carried out by fees to 202 teachers. while teachers enjoy greater stability and better salaries. The fees corresponded to the type of educational institution and its geographical location in the city. Data were analyzed from descriptive statistics and multiple correspondence analysis. It was found that the conditions of precarious work are usually more related to the poor peripheries of the city and to private institutions for the extension of coverage, associated with long working hours, hours of unpaid work at home, lower wages and unstable contracts. On the other hand, stability is associated with linking to official institutions through a merit contest.
