To g1, both told that the group of people tried to arrive in advance to their test site, at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB), due to the closure of a section of the bridge over the Paraíba River, which will also be imploded this Sunday (8). Despite being from the same city, they both met on the way to the test.

A teacher by training, Alice wants to take the Enem in search of passing another course, pedagogy. She already studied Literature. Roberta now takes the exam as training, as she hasn't finished high school yet, but she is eager to study Law.

In this edition, the Ministry of Education (MEC) registered more than 5 million registrations across the country. In total, 140,745 people are registered to take the exam in Paraíba this year.

Enem is considered the main form of entry into higher education in Brazil, through federal programs such as the Unified Selection System (Sisu), the University for All Program (Prouni) and the Student Financing Fund (Fies).

The individual results of the exam can also be used in selection processes at educational institutions in Portugal that have an agreement with Inep.

Since the 2025 edition, Enem has also once again certified the completion of secondary education for candidates aged 18 and over.

For the first time, Enem will also aim to assess the mastery of skills and abilities expected at the end of high school, integrating the Basic Education Assessment System (Saeb).
