In an interview with CNN Radio this Thursday (18th), the director of the Center for Educational Policies at FGV and former Director of Education at the World Bank, Claudia Costin, reassured students about this year’s Enem.
The test, which will take place on the next 21st and 27th, was the target of controversy after the stampede of employees of Inep, the body responsible for the examination, on the allegation of moral harassment, and President Jair Bolsonaro’s statement that the test, now, would have “the face of the government.”
Claudia said she didn’t fear Enem “from the point of view of ideologization” and left a message to the subscribers: “Don’t forget to go do Enem, there wasn’t time to change what the president announced.”
She explains that there is a bank of items, of questions, selected based on technical criteria elaborated by university professors and supervised by civil servants.
However, the specialist sees concern on two fronts: the possible loss of credibility by Inep and the low number of subscribers.
Credibility, according to her, may be affected due to “such a large number of civil servants felt uncomfortable to the point of handing over their positions, in a body that has enormous international prestige.”
“The very low number of enrollments, with schools closed for so long, in what is one of the main entrances to higher education, increases the exclusion and elitism of higher education, it is a pity”, he lamented.
Claudia Costin also defended Inep: “We need to keep this body shielded, protected, from political uses.”
