The rectory of the UFSC (Federal University of Santa Catarina) said it was surprised by the report of the Enem (National Baccalaureate Examination) candidates who were prohibited from taking the exam at the institution.
OR Twitter I tried to contact representatives of the Inep, but even the publication of the report was unsuccessful.
The university gave classrooms for the contest on Sunday (17) and reported that the decision to set a new date for the re-application of the exam for part of the candidates was a decision of the Inep (National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira).
The measure would be a way to avoid crowding of spaces, but it would not have been informed to the competitors in advance, causing various expressions of discontent on social networks.
In most reports, the explanation given by the inspectors would be that the room had already reached the safe distance between the candidates for the exam.
Those who managed to take the test mentioned that there would be space for other people to take the exam in the rooms, since they were missing, as reported Ewelim Caldeira Rodrigues, 18, and Larissa Rocha, 18, who take Enem to try the Psychology course at UFSC.
“There were two empty desks and another five unoccupied by missing persons,” Larissa said when she finished the exam.
Inep predicted it would use 80% of room space, says UFSC
According to the UFSC chief of staff, Professor Áureo Mafra de Moraes, the Inep sought the university even last year requesting the physical spaces of the university in Florianópolis (SC), to carry out the test.
The application was accepted on the condition that the agency adopt all possible sanitary measures to guarantee the safety of the candidates, such as temperature measurement, availability of alcohol gel, masks and cleaning of the rooms. The university, however, is not involved in the event.
“More recently, when we learned that they (the event organizers) were trying to optimize the space of the classrooms as much as possible, we raised a new condition so that the maximum capacity of 40% of people in the rooms is respected, something in the standards recommended by However, on the 13th I received the information that it was expected that 80% of the capacity of the rooms would be used ”, says Moraes.
According to the professor, the answer was that if the capacity of the rooms was reduced too much, more people would be needed to perform the test and the cost would also be higher.
In addition, according to Áureo Mafra de Morais, Inep emissaries reported that historically 30% of candidates did not appear in the exam, which -in theory- would also reduce the number of people in the classroom.
“I noticed that this was a bet for the imponderable, very risky, since we even suspended our entrance exam thinking not to expose people to the risks of transmission of Covid-19. I sent a letter with this concern and Inep did not say what it would do. Respect, that is why from then on we notify the Health Secretariats of Florianópolis and Santa Catarina and also the Public Ministry informing that there would be evidence in the UFSC, that we lend the space, but that we ask to use 40% of the capacity of the rooms “, remember. Moraes.
The surprise came Sunday morning, when students began questioning the university because they couldn’t get into the testing sites.
“I contacted the coordinators of the physical spaces where the tests would be carried out and they all said that Inep representatives asked that the rooms be relocated and where, for example, 30 students were initially planned, with a reduction to 16 people. I don’t know The criterion used, the procedure was defined this morning when the candidates had already left home for the UFSC “, he points out.
Áureo Mafra de Moraes points out that if the university’s request had been attended to on Friday, the number of classrooms and people in each exam site could have been reassigned.
In the university’s own documents, it lists the location of some 145 classrooms with a capacity for almost 2,500 candidates, already considering the 60% reduction in the use of space. The number is much lower than that shown by another document from the organizer of the test to which the UOL had access and which shows that 4,500 people would be assigned to take the test at the institution.
“We have this capacity, but (apparently) they ignored our documents, I don’t know why and I’m not going to judge, and they went to make the capacity adjustment today. The students were not detained at the UFSC, they were detained in a test place Enem, who happened to be in the UFSC ”, concluded the chief of staff.
