The Minister of Education stated that second-phase candidates are the most harmed by delays in national exams. This declaration comes in the context of significant changes to the secondary education exam calendar.
Applications for the second phase of the higher education access competition run from August 24 to September 20. This period represents a three-week extension compared to what was initially planned.
The postponement of the second phase of national secondary education exams is the source of this extension of the application deadline. The decision to create a special exam session in September also contributed to the calendar change.
These changes directly affect students who compete through the second phase, who now face a longer period of uncertainty while waiting for exams to be completed and the possibility of formalizing their application to higher education.
