Vol. Teac. VI - Enem - Part II

        In the former post, I said that we should try to strengthen and to improve the ENEM and now I would like to give some reasons for that. The ENEM need to be taken seriously by everybody.
        ENEM has done many persons that quitted school many years ago, go back to school, maybe because it is a multiple choice test with current question, where prevail the good interpretation of text and a advanced writing, and also it is a requirement test for prouni, when to achieve only 40% is enough to qualify the applicant for the public schoolarship, besides come from a poor family. Let me to tell the truth, it is not difficult to reach 40%. After all, one of the reasons that I did this blog is to help the people to be aware about the changes that they can reach through investment in education, and sometimes the only investment required is their hardwork, their commitment in their studies. The people has the right to good education, fight for this.  The fact is, a lot of older persons are having a second chance in their lives, what is very good, because for some reason these persons can not study earlier in their lives, so give them another opportunity or in some cases the only and late opportunity, is very important and fair. This year there was almost 700.000 applicants older than 30 years old. And the numbers of application form from persons that already has the secondary level has increased steadily, reaching this year 58% from all.
        Equally important is ENEM to be adopted by many public universities, it is a good way to democratize the access and broaden the range of applicants.
       The education should have always inclusionary policies. There is only benefits from that.
