The special season exams period ends tomorrow with turnout below what the Government had expected. This special season allowed students to take exams under specific conditions.

The Executive revealed that it had expected greater participation in this special exams season, but the numbers fell below initial forecasts.

The Government also announced that it will begin negotiations with political parties for the State Budget at the end of this month. These negotiations are fundamental for the approval of the document that will define the country's budgetary priorities.

The contacts with the parties will take place after the close of the special exams season, marking the beginning of the legislative process for the next State Budget.
