The theme of the essay for the 2025 National High School Exam (Enem) is: “Perspectives on aging in Brazilian society”.
The information was released this Sunday (9) by the Minister of Education, Camilo Santana, via the social network X.
In addition to the writing test, candidates enrolled in Enem will take questions on languages and codes and human sciences this afternoon. The race started at 1:30 pm and ends at 7 pm (Brasília time).
Earlier this month, the Brazil Agency published the story of three specialist doctors who, over 80 years old, continue to work, overcoming prejudice. In the same special series, the report heard experts who pointed out the coexistence between generations as a recipe for success against ageism.
In June last year, to mark LGBTQIA+ pride month, the Brazil Agency debated the need for public policies, specialized healthcare and respect for diversity in aging of this population.

How is the writing
THE writing test requires the production of a prose text, of the dissertation-argumentative type, with up to 30 lines based on the proposed problem situation, the motivating texts and the knowledge built throughout your training.
The topic of the essay will be social, scientific, cultural or political.
The text project, with information, facts and opinions related to the proposed topic, must defend a point of view – an opinion regarding the proposed topic -, supported by consistent arguments, structured with coherence.
the candidate must also prepare a social intervention proposal (solution) for the problem presented in the development of the text. This proposal must respect human rights. Proposals that disrespect human rights will receive a score of zero. Proposals that, for example, incite people to violence or have racist references constitute disrespect for human rights.
Correction
Only essays transcribed for the official Enem test essay sheet will be corrected.
Each essay will be corrected by two correctors, with degrees in literature or linguistics, independently, without one knowing the grade given by the other.
Brokers will assign a score from 0 to 200 points in each of the five skills. The sum of these points makes up the total grade awarded by the evaluator, which can reach 1,000 points. The participant’s final grade will be the arithmetic average between the total grades awarded by the two evaluators.
Zero rating
Among the criteria set out in the Enem 2024 notice that result in a zero grade in the essay are:
- Avoidance of the proposed theme;

- Name, signature, initials or any other form of identification, anywhere on the writing sheet;
