The idea is to reserve about 10% of vacant places for the new modality, aimed at students of the state school network. The project has yet to be approved
Students in São Paulo’s state network may have one more chance of admission to the state’s three largest public universities starting next year. USP (University of São Paulo), Unesp (University of the State of São Paulo) and Unicamp (State University of Campinas) intend to implement a serial-type entrance exam based on the marks obtained by students in the Saresp, an evaluation system applied by the government government to measure academic performance.
The idea is that at the end of high school, the marks obtained by the student in each year of this stage of education are added up and used to enter universities, without the need to take the traditional entrance exams or the ENEM (National High School Exam).
The announcement of the proposal, which has already been presented to the governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans), was made this Friday morning (10) in Ribeirão Preto, during the launch of the Ayrton Senna Institute Chair for Innovation in Educational Assessment. USP dean, Carlo Gilberto Carlottihe underlined, however, that the decision has not yet been taken by the collegiate bodies and by the other internal bodies, necessary so that the new method can, in fact, be implemented as early as this year.
For Saresp to serve this purpose, some adjustments would be needed. Currently the test is applied to the 5th and 9th year of Elementary School and to the 3rd year of High School – the first change, therefore, would be to apply the exam also to the 1st and 2nd year of this cycle, in so that the votes add up. Carlotti underlined that, by adhering to the model, universities could strengthen ties with public education and monitor students more closely, knowing their difficulties and merits.
According to Folha de São Paulo, USP, Unesp and Unicamp intend to reserve approximately 10% of the vacancies offered for the serial entrance exam. With the measure, they hope to encourage students in the state’s public schools to look for a vacancy. Currently, only 10% of the 400,000 state school students in São Paulo enroll in the Fuvest, the traditional USP entrance exam.
