During a meeting of leaders this Friday, an extraordinary meeting of the Permanent Commission on National Exams was scheduled.
This meeting was planned without the mandatory participation of the Government, but the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, Carlos Abreu Amorim, assured that the Government accepts this decision and has 'never refused to provide clarification or denied the possible presence of a government member.'
Several parties—PS, Livre, PCP, and Bloco de Esquerda—were pressuring the Minister of Education to attend the meeting. Fernando Alexandre's cabinet has already responded to RTP that the government will be present.
PS deputy Pedro Delgado Alves emphasized that the minister is a person 'capable of providing the necessary clarifications,' and that debates without Fernando Alexandre 'would be very strange.'
The national secondary school exams for the current academic year were postponed due to technical failures in the unprecedented digital correction process.

Fernando Alexandre explained that the postponement is related to the 'overload of teacher' classifiers' due to the correction process, which 'went poorly.' He also admitted that the third cycle may also face a postponement of the start of the school year.
