Judge Marisa Claudia Gonçalves Cucio, author of the decision, responded to a request for public civil action from the Office of the Federal Public Defender. The Office of the Public Defender argued that the serious public health problem led to the closing of schools and the suspension of face-to-face classes, with greater prejudice for public school students, who have fewer resources to maintain the normal rhythm of studies.
“It is undeniable that Enem is today the main democratic instrument of access to higher education, public and private, in which students from public and private schools already compete at a disadvantage under regular conditions (in view of the structural difficulties of education public), therefore, allowing to proceed in situations aggravated by the covid-19 pandemic is an aggravated affront to the principle of equality, “wrote the magistrate in the preliminary decision.
He noted that public school students do not attend classes with the content of the program loaded on Enem, “unlike most students in the private education network, who have access to distance education (EAD) and several others electronic tools. learning “. In fact, it is not even possible to say that all private schools are offering video classes or similar activities, since the pandemic and the rules of social isolation that determined the closure of educational institutions surprised the teams of teachers without preparation for this task”. he added.
“Given that the calendar was released during school closings, when the majority of students who will undergo Enem have access to information and do not have access to the program content required for the exam, it is not reasonable that Defendants students keep the original calendar, “wrote Marisa Claudia. In the decision, she says that the adaptation of the schedule must occur through a commission or consultation, “informing all the agencies and representatives of the Powers necessary for the measure.”
The magistrate also extended the term, which ended on Friday (17), to request the registration fee for the test and justify the absence for another 15 days. The decision must be enforced immediately, but the federal government can appeal.
Scheduled for October, digital exam is postponed to November
The MEC reported Friday night that it had responded to requests made by students by changing the application date of the first digital version of Enem. The initial forecast for October 11 and 18 was changed to November 22 and 29. “It is a difficult year, due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, this is not what will make us lose the year. We cannot leave behind a whole generation of doctors, nurses, engineers and teachers. It makes no sense,” according to a statement issued by the ministry, Minister Abraham Weintraub.
The implementation of digital Enem will begin this year, progressively, said MEC. “There are 100,000 volunteers, that is, only those who want to take the test for this model. They will spread across all states,” Weintraub explained. MEC’s prognosis is to make a gradual transition from print to digital and to complete the paper test by 2026.
