By requesting the postponement of the ENEM (National High School Exam), Elisa Teixeira, a student from Minas Gerais, started one of the most interesting movements of the pandemic involving online petitions with her petition. About to take the 2020 ENEM, and facing the advancement of the pandemic and the difficulty in continuing classes properly and knowing the risks at the time of the exam, she created this petition to ask the Minister of Education, Abraham Weintraub, and INEP to postpone the exam.
In her online petition, the student highlights that approximately 6.6 million students in the country lacked internet access, and many were not receiving online classes. As if the difficulties in keeping up with the preparatory material weren't enough, the pandemic itself was a major complication.
Although not initially directed at Congress, the more than 260,000 signatures and over one million posts with the hashtag on social media led parliamentarians, in the absence of a statement from the Ministry of Education, to propose bills (PL 1277/2020 and PL 2623/2020) to guarantee this postponement. With the action taken by the National Congress, the Federal Government postponed the exam.
