Access to higher education
Established in 1998, the National High School Examination assesses the academic performance of students at the end of high school. Participants who have not yet completed high school can participate as trainers, and the results obtained in the exam are only used for self-assessment of knowledge.
Enem scores can be used in selection processes coordinated by the Ministry of Education, such as the Unified Selection System (Sisu), the University for All Program (ProUni) and the Federal government’s Higher Education Student Financing Fund (Fies).
Performance on the Enem is also considered for admission to higher education institutions in Portugal that have an agreement with Inep. The agreements guarantee easy access to grades for Brazilian students interested in pursuing higher education in that country.
