Parliament approved an urgent hearing of the education minister regarding issues that arose with the national exams. However, the PSD party agrees that Fernando Alexandre should appear before parliament only after the results of these exams have been published.
The Assembly of the Republic (AR) decided to approve an urgent hearing of the Minister of Education to debate the problems identified in the national exams.
This request for parliamentary hearing comes at a time when a petition aimed at annulling the national exams has surpassed 9,000 signatures. Furthermore, concerns have been raised about the correction of the exams, with one insurance company expressing a desire for a swift resolution to maintain confidence in the system.
