End of virtual Enem is the victory of delay – 03/11/2023 – Elio Gaspari

The president of Inep, Manuel Palácios, announced the end of the digital version of the Enem exam. It’s over and there’s no return date.

Palácios’ arguments are irrefutable. Adherence to the digital version of the test was low. In 2022, 100,000 places were offered, only 66,000 young people signed up for the exam in this modality and half of those enrolled did not show up. The cost of the digital version was BRL 25.3 million and with low adherence, the cost of each test was BRL 860, against BRL 160 for paper tests.

For decades, all Ministers of Education promised the implementation of a digital system. Minister Abraham Weintraub, of unhappy memory, managed to take the promise out of the fantasy world and it has now gone to vinegar.

Steam navigation was dangerous and expensive. Electric poles would kill cows in pastures. Nicola Tesla’s alternating current would set cities on fire. To protect the non-existent computer industry, Brazil has banned the importation of such equipment. Not to mention the salaried workforce, which could not replace that of enslaved blacks.

All over the world, exams carried out on digital platforms are disseminated. In Pindorama, with good arguments, delay won, but it was still a triumph of delay.

Not long ago, the land of palm trees, where the thrush sings, had a president who condemned the vaccine against Covid.

The old and bad practice of charging tolls to release payments from the federal government is half-recovered, but it is not dead.
