The National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (Inep) expanded the source of the answer card for the 2023 editions of the National High School Examination (Enem) and the National Examination for the Certification of Youth and Adult Skills (Encceja). With the increased font size, the answer cards for the two exams will be more accessible to people with visual impairments. The purpose of the measure is to provide more autonomy and, consequently, equality to test participants. All candidates must complete the answer card based on the alternatives they consider correct in each question of the exam. The pilot application with the font expanded by Inep was in the National Examination for Revalidation of Medical Diplomas Issued by a Foreign Higher Education Institution (Revalida). What changes The response card for each of the two evaluations, which until then was printed in a standard font (size 12) for all participants, now, with the adaptation to people with low vision, will have a font of size 18. It will also change the paper size. The printouts – both of the answer card and of the Enem and Encceja Writing Sheet will be on A3 sheets, with dimensions of 297 x 420mm. In the case of the Writing Sheet, to maintain the similarity with the regular sheet (A4 paper, 297 x 210mm), the enlarged paper will contain 25 lines for the Encceja writing and 30 lines for the Enem and Encceja High School writing, with spacing 1.5 cm. When registering, the candidate may opt for the extended response card, but will lose the right to receive assistance in transcribing the responses. Those who choose the regular size card will still have the option of having a transcriber available. According to the INEP schedule, those interested in participating in Encceja 2023 will be able to register from May 22nd to June 2nd. Registration for Enem 2023 will be from June 5th to 16th. Accessibility and Inclusion In 2000, Inep adopted the Accessibility and Inclusion Policy. Since then, it has offered specialized care and resources on exams and assessments. The objective is to provide equal access to Brazilian educational programs. Special services can be requested by people with low vision, blindness, monocular vision (equal to or less than 20% in one eye), physical disability, hearing impairment, deafness, intellectual (mental) disability, deafblindness, dyslexia, attention deficit , autism spectrum disorder, dyscalculia, in addition to pregnant women, nursing mothers, the elderly and people with another specific condition. Among the accessibility resources that Inep offers for people with low vision are: aid for reading (reader); transcription aid transcriber; test with enlarged or super enlarged letters and figures; easy access room; screen reader, through synthesized voice, that describes everything that appears on the monitor. All requests must be made at the time of registration. National exams Enem evaluates the school performance of students at the end of basic education. Enem is the gateway to higher education in Brazil, through the Unified Selection System (Sisu) and initiatives such as the University for All Program (Prouni) and the Student Financing Fund (Fies), a program of the Ministry of Education. Encceja attests to the skills, abilities and knowledge of young people and adults who did not finish primary or secondary education at the appropriate age.
