Of the more than 26.5 thousand people registered for the National High School Examination (Enem) 2026 in Acre, 16.6 thousand are women and 15.2 thousand declared themselves mixed race. According to the survey by the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (Inep), released this Thursday (5), the two groups represent the majority of participants.
The tests begin next Sunday (8), with the first stage of the exam, and continue on November 15th. In total, candidates will take two days of tests.
According to the survey, men total 9,900 registered in the state. Regarding color or race, another 5,704 candidates declared themselves white, 2,516 black, 545 yellow and 444 indigenous. Another 2,134 did not inform this characteristic when registering.
Regarding education, 11,440 participants are in the last year or year of high school and should complete this stage in 2026. Of this group, 10,700 are public school students who were automatically enrolled in the exam.
Another 10,484 candidates have already completed high school. The survey also records 4,302 people who are studying this stage, but are not expected to finish it this academic year, in addition to 324 who are neither studying nor have completed high school.
The numbers show that the exam brings together both students who are about to finish basic education and people who have already left school and intend to use their score to seek a place in higher education.
Furthermore, of the total of 26,550 registered in Acre, 19,707 were exempt from the registration fee, equivalent to 74.23%. Another 6,843 candidates paid to participate in the exam, representing 25.77%.
On the national scene, the Inep panel records 5,051,345 confirmed registrations, out of a total of 5,655,423 made. Of this total, 3.2 million are women, equivalent to 63.98%, while men represent 36.02%.
In addition to being used as one of the main forms of access to higher education, Enem will become part of the National Basic Education Assessment System (Saeb) in 2026.
With the change, the results will also be used to evaluate the quality of secondary education in public and private networks. The first performance data by school is expected to be released in 2027.
Exam scores can be used in selection processes such as the Unified Selection System (Sisu), the University for All Program (Prouni) and the Student Financing Fund (Fies), according to the rules of each program.
As in previous years, this year's Enem tests will be administered over two weekends. Last Friday (27), Inep released the consultation for Enem 2026 test locations. The information is available on the registration confirmation card, on the participant's page.
