Students who missed Enem due to climate issues will have a new opportunity

The Minister of Education, Leonardo Barchini, stated this Sunday (8) that students unable to take the test for climate reasons will have a new opportunity in December.

"All climate issues are being observed by Inep. For those who cannot arrive due to climate reasons, we have a second application in December", declared the minister.

Writing: lack of investment and inequality are possible paths

Candidates can discuss how the lack of resources, regional inequalities and difficulties in accessing health services compromise the value of the SUS.

Among the possible theses, the student can argue that "SUS democratizes access to health, although it is harmed by the devaluation of public services", explains Marcus Barcelos, Portuguese coordinator at Bernoulli Educação.

According to teachers interviewed by g1, the essay theme follows the same pattern as in other years, in the sense that it is not a subject guided by the media.

Furthermore, it is an issue with strong social roots, closely linked to the Brazilian reality.
