between the self-esteem of students from subsidized and municipal private schools (p = 0.771), Fisher’s
exact statistical test did not show a relationship between the variables of type of school and self-esteem
(p = 0.597). The ANOVA test showed no relationship between the course variable and self-esteem (F
= 0.400 p = 0.844). The T test showed a relationship between the variables self-esteem and sex (p = 0.039). Regarding the comparison by sex, it is observed that there is a significant difference in the selfesteem
