More than half of the students were absent on the first day of the special exam period

SIC Notícias4 September 2026 at 12:43

More than half of the students did not show up on the first day of the national special exam season. Participation was below expectations, despite this season having been created precisely to give an additional opportunity to students.

The special season was created to serve students who were affected by the problems in grading and publishing the results of the first phase of exams. This measure aimed to compensate for the difficulties faced during the previous process.

The high number of absences on the first day raises questions about the usefulness of this extraordinary solution created by the Ministry of Education for students harmed by the delays and errors in the first phase.

Church/Environment: Head of the 'Caring for Our Common Home' Network calls for 'conversion of the heart' in face of ecological urgency

Juan Ambrósio, head of the 'Caring for Our Common Home' Network, warned in an interview about the urgent need for behavioral change in the face of environmental damage, defending that "it is still possible to reverse" the global crisis "by choice" or "by conviction". The Portuguese theologian stressed that, on a planet with limited resources, excessive material demands can only be "at the expense of others having less and less", calling for a "conversion of the heart" that associates the encyclical 'Laudato Si' with 'Fratelli Tutti'. Ambrósio also recalled the Pope's call for the preservation of water resources and announced initiatives for the Season of Creation, including online meetings and ecumenical celebrations on the banks of the Tagus River.
