Enem 2026: Court determines that teenagers undergoing cancer treatment have an individual room for the test in RN

The decision was made by federal judge Janilson Bezerra de Siqueira, of the 4th Federal Court, following a request presented by the teenager's mother. In the action, she argued that her daughter is undergoing pediatric oncology treatment and needs adaptations in school and assessment activities, in addition to being subject to the risk of infection.

g1 contacted Inep to find out whether the decision will be followed, but there was no response until the last update of this article.

When analyzing the case, the magistrate considered that the right to education must be guaranteed in conjunction with health protection, especially as it concerns a teenager undergoing medical treatment.

"The rule requires that the conditions for access to educational opportunities take into account the adolescent's proven needs," the judge wrote in the decision.

The judge also highlighted that the provision of an individual room does not eliminate the risks of treatment nor does it replace any hospital support, but it represents a concrete measure to reduce the patient's exposure to other people.
