Storm leaves 36 Enem test sites without electricity in RJ

The weekend storm left 36 places where the National High School Exam (Enem) was administered without electricity in Rio de Janeiro. At the Roberto de Abreu Municipal School, in Imbariê, Duque de Caxias, in Baixada Fluminense, the majority of candidates just signed the attendance list and left without taking the test.

Fernanda Carvalho, 17, said that one of those responsible for the application used her cell phone's flashlight to light up the room. Candidates reported that they left the unit without guidance on what would happen to those who were unable to take the exam.

According to the Minister of Education, Leonardo Barchini, candidates affected by the power outage are entitled to retake the exam, scheduled for the 15th and 16th of December. To participate, it is necessary to make the request between November 16th and 20th, via the Participant Page, presenting documents that prove the problem.
