Minister of Education, Fernando Alexandre, declared in a parliamentary hearing that the government possesses no report on last year's pilot project for digitizing Philosophy exams. Alexandre held the former president of the National Board of Examiners responsible for never submitting a formal assessment.
The minister admitted he was not informed of the "serious errors" detected during the pilot and that he did not request a report. This statement intensified criticism from the opposition and education professionals regarding the generalization of the digital model, despite reported technical issues like "tests disappearing" and swapped answers.
Former National Board of Examiners president, Luís Duque de Almeida, questioned the basis for generalizing the model, stating the minister never asked for an assessment. Alexandre, however, defended the process as aligned with international trends and assured that "no student will be harmed" despite delays in grade publication.
