Half of the students were absent from the extraordinary national exam season

CNN Portugal9 September 2026 at 12:54

Half of the students were absent from the extraordinary national exam season. This was the second phase of the secondary education tests, which took place outside the usual schedule.

The Portuguese exam was the test with the most enrolled students and also the most absences recorded. Out of nearly 9,500 students enrolled in this subject, only 3,831 attended to take the test.

This means that more than 5,600 students did not show up for the Portuguese exam during this extraordinary season, which represents a significant absence rate.

The information comes in the context of the release of data regarding the second phase of national secondary education exams, which usually serves as an opportunity for students who were unable to meet the deadlines of the first season.

The article describes a solidarity initiative at São João Hospital, in Porto, where hospitalized children receive books to continue studying during treatments or prolonged hospitalizations. For many of these young patients, the return to classes does not happen in a traditional school, but rather within the hospital walls, where they spend weeks or months away from the classroom. The initiative aims to ensure that these children do not lose contact with learning and maintain a routine as close as possible to normal school life.
