The president of the National Association of Directors of Groups and Public Schools wants the Government to reveal, soon, the 11th exams which, at the end of this academic year, will be carried out on a computer.

About a month ago, the president of IAVE, Luís Pereira dos Santos, said, in an interview with TSF , that this evidence would soon be known, but, so far, this information is not yet known.

Filinto Lima, president of the National Association of Directors of Groups and Public Schools, emphasizes that "the Ministry of Education needs to quickly [...] tell its schools, in the shortest possible time, what the 11th and 12th year exams that will be in digital format. We know that it is not normal secondary, especially because it is an innovation, to carry out these exams in this type of format. And, in this sense, and also for this reason, The Ministry of Education must quickly give these instructions to its schools so that teachers and students can be more at ease." However, recognizes the president of the National Association of Directors of Groups and Public Schools, there is still time to get the information to schools. "There is still scope to get information to schools about which exams will be carried out in digital format. What is asked is that information quickly reaches schools, to know in which subjects digital exams will have the its implementation", says Filinto Lima.

At a time of political uncertainty, with elections to be held in March next year, Filinto Lima de-dramatizes the possibility of the measure falling through. The president of the National Association of Directors of Groups and Public Schools recalls that "if you fall, there is no big problem because we are used to exams in the traditional format, with paper and a ballpoint pen".

On Wednesday, TSF questioned the Ministry of Education about which exams would be carried out in digital format, but the Ministry revealed that they have not yet been decided.
