The results of the Exame Nacional para Certificação de Competências de Jovens e Adultos (Encceja) 2024 are officially released today, December 23, around the nation through the Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (Inep). This examination offers millions of adults and youth who missed the chance to complete their basic education—a last shot at securing their certificates.
Taking place on August 25, 2024, the exam saw an impressive 895,512 registrants: 754,267 aimed for high school certification, and 141,245 for elementary certification. This year’s figures indicate the persistent demand for educational opportunities among those who did not follow the conventional route to completing their education.
Eligible participants had to be at least 15 years old for the elementary level and 18 for high school by the day of the test. They were required to achieve at least 100 points across the four objective tests and score no less than 5 points on their essay, graded on a scale from 0 to 10. The exam's complexity was reinforced by employing the same complex scoring method known as the Teoria de Resposta ao Item (TRI), which is utilized in Brazil's high-profile Enem (Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio).
According to Inep, "To obtain the certificate, the candidate must achieve at least 100 points in each area of knowledge assessed, as well as achieve at least 5 points in the essay, which grades on a scale from 0 to 10." This system ensures rigorous standards for educational achievement.
Participants seeking to access their individual results can do so through the official Encceja website. After logging onto the "Página do Participante" section, they will need to input their CPF (Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas) number and registration password. Once logged in, candidates can click on the 'Results' tab to review their scores across each subject area. Specific guidance for logging on is provided, including password retrieval options for those who may have forgotten their login credentials.
"The Encceja, held annually since 2002, aims to assess the knowledge and skills of people who did not complete basic education at the appropriate age," remarked Inep, highlighting its pivotal role in educational accessibility. It is one of the very few avenues enabling adults to demonstrate their educational competencies formally.
Once the results are verified, successful candidates can move forward by requesting their certificates from regional education authorities or participating institutes. Inep directs participants to check the list of affiliated locations to obtain their certification, ensuring they follow through on their educational aspirations.
Notably, participants who excelled but did not pass the exam holistically may still apply for partial proficiency certificates, which recognize the subjects they mastered. Such provisions aid candidates to build upon their successes without starting from scratch during future attempts.
This results release is not just about numbers; it's deeply intertwined with the prospects of countless individuals eager to reshape their futures through education. By providing this certification path, Encceja plays an instrumental role—not merely as examiners but as facilitators of lifelong learning, contributing significantly to Brazil's commitment to education across all ages.
For all the latest developments on the Encceja exams, future candidates and interested parties are encouraged to monitor Inep's communications closely and participate actively!
