National exams. Chega will vote in favor of BE's inquiry commission

RTP Notícias15 September 2026 at 17:50

O Chega announced that it will vote in favor of the Left Bloc's proposal to establish a parliamentary inquiry commission into the digital classification process of national exams.

The initiative comes from BE, which proposes that Parliament investigate how the digitization of the classification of national exams took place.

The Chega party expressed support for the creation of the inquiry commission, although it conditioned its enthusiasm on the fact that it hopes this issue will not divert attention from other matters it considers more priority.

Specifically, Chega stated that it does not want the focus on the classification of national exams to distract Parliament's attention regarding the situation of the Minister of Internal Affairs.

Why this matters

Readers are directly affected because national exams are a fundamental part of the Portuguese educational system and any problem in the digital classification process can have consequences for students. The creation of this inquiry commission may reveal systemic failures in digitization and potential political responsibilities, as well as potentially occupying parliamentary space that could be devoted to other issues such as the case of the Minister of Internal Affairs.
