The questions were asked in the humanities tests and also in the language tests with texts in English and Spanish on the topic.
The conflict between Israel and Hamas and the context of the war in the Middle East have been topics covered in previous editions of the National High School Examination (Enem). The questions were asked in the humanities tests and also in the language tests with texts in English and Spanish on the topic.
The full tests, as well as the correct answers, can be accessed at place of the Anísio Teixeira National Institute of Educational Studies and Research (Inep). Both regular and Enem applications addressed to adults deprived of liberty and young people subjected to socio-educational measures involving deprivation of liberty, the so-called Enem PPL, were taken into account.
In 2013, a regular Enem question addressed a change made by Google that began displaying the term Palestine instead of Palestinian Territories when the page was accessed from the West Bank. The question was about the reason for the change and the correct answer was the letter D: “recognition of a legal authority”.
In 2016, a first-day Enem PPL query contained two excerpts of texts about what happened in the territory between the two world wars. One of them addressed the growth of Jewish immigration to Palestine between 1931 and 1935, a period in which this population rose from 10% to over 30% of the local population. The other text dealt with the role of Great Britain in the local context. The correct answer is the letter A: “creation of an allied state”.
On the second day of the Enem PPL question of the same year, there was also a question in the Spanish test that addressed the situation in the region. One text dealt with the circumstances surrounding the first marathon held in the West Bank. The majority (70%) of the participants in the race were Palestinians, who proposed a motto and made banners. Question 91 was about the riders’ complaint and the correct answer was the letter E: “freedom to come and go and to practice sports”.
In 2017, the English test included an excerpt from an Israeli travel guide, which addressed local cultural and religious issues. The text also dealt with disagreements among the inhabitants regarding the way to conduct the country’s politics. Question 01 asked what the content of the tourist guide was and the correct answer was the letter E: “presents general aspects of the country’s culture to continue to attract foreign tourists”.
In 2018, a regular Enem question stated that, since 1967, the Zionist left had advocated for Israel to get rid of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, due to the much higher Arab birth rate. Question 62 asked what the concern presented in the text would be and the correct answer was letter B: “search for ethnic pre-eminence in the national space”.
Frequent theme
«It is a recurring theme because it is part of many of the skills that humanistic experimentation requires, such as national states, the relationship between citizenship and democracy, the ability to interpret cartographic sources, maps. Since these are contents that can be approached from multiple points of view. ways, ends up being the subject of many questions”says the history teacher at Mopi school in Rio de Janeiro, Raffaele Duarte.
“It is a very recurring theme, both at Enem and in state universities. When we talk about conflicts, we always focus on the issue of Israel, Palestine and the Gaza Strip, because in addition to the political factors linked to the occupation of these spaces, there it is the economic factor and also the religious one”adds the director of the High School of Reference (Erem) Escritor Paulo Cavalcanti, in Olinda (PE) and geography teacher at the São José State School, in Paulista (PE), Patricia Mesquita.

Test results can be used to apply for places in public higher education, through the Unified Selection System (Sisu), for scholarships in private higher education institutions through the University for All Program (ProUni) and for funding from the Student Financing Fund (Fies). . In addition to applying for vacant positions at foreign institutions affiliated with Inep.
