PS expresses concern over Luís Montenegro's silence regarding the digitalization of national exams

Moz Caldas questioned the lack of statements from the prime minister to the country, especially since the President of the Republic had already addressed the issue. The member of the National Secretariat of the PS was also questioned about the statements made by the prime minister, Luís Montenegro, to SIC during the NOS Alive festival on Thursday night, regarding this situation. He began his criticism by mentioning that the media seems to find the prime minister only in quick football matches interviews or at festivals.

In-depth Analysis of the Problem

Despite this, André Moz Caldas stressed that the problem is quite complex and requires verification, specifically whether it is linked to the dismantling of the structures of the Ministry of Education promoted by Minister Fernando Alexandre, or if there are risks to the higher education entrance exam and the start of the school year.

Prime Minister's Commitments

During his statements at NOS Alive, Luís Montenegro assured that the Government is making a significant effort to overcome the obstacles found in this year's national exams process. He stated that they are doing everything to release the results and allow the process to move forward within a context of normality, respecting the deadlines and schedules expected by students and families.

According to the prime minister, this effort is dedicated to a procedure that requires digital transformation, and which, after this first major test, should represent an advance in the educational system. When asked about the difficulties with the electronic platform used by teachers to correct answers, the head of government acknowledged that such processes present setbacks, although he expressed a desire that they did not exist. The expectation is that this future system will be faster, more reliable, and transparent. Luís Montenegro concluded by guaranteeing structural improvements for the next school year and calling for calm.
