Professor Tiago Diana, history manager at Sigma Network, said: “The humanities exams were well-balanced with themes related to politics, economics, society, environmental and agricultural issues, approaches to identity, Africanness and the relevance of traditional populations.”
Diana emphasized that the history questions covered different eras, including antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Age of Enlightenment, and in Brazil they dealt with the colonial period and the government of Getulio Vargas.

Questions of sociology and philosophy required the appropriation of concepts about otherness, inequality, and political institutions.
Professor Vania Beneveri, Writing and Language Manager at Sigma Network, emphasized the importance of the ability to understand text when taking tests.
“These questions emphasized the recognition that Portuguese is an element of deep knowledge of Brazilian heritage and identity, the result of a cultural and historiographical vision, and not just the expression of a set of grammatical rules decontextualized from an individual’s linguistic experience,” Beneveri commented.
Mr. Beneveri emphasized that two Brazilian authors stood out in the competition. They are “A Luta” by Carmen Dolores and “Onde Vistostes de Nite” by Clarice Lispector. “This exam required candidates to have the insight to connect different areas of knowledge and fully understand the questions,” he said.

Since the latest research published by IBGE shows the aging of Brazil’s population in recent decades, the professors considered the theme “Perspectives on Aging in Brazilian Society” to be very appropriate.
Beneveri said the challenge was for students to create a text with sections on different themes. “Aspects such as the working lives of older people, the inclusion of older people in education, the inversion of Brazil’s age pyramid, and health care for an aging population should be brought into question during the discussion, culminating in intervention proposals at the end of the document,” he said.
Writing teacher Barbara Andrade Soares from Colegio Galois also liked the theme, but recalled that the “pitfall” of the test was its focus on a single approach to such an overarching topic. “I think the trick might be for students to summarize this issue as elder abandonment, hunger, and violence faced by older people,” he observed.
In the case of the Galois teacher, the examiner expects candidates to understand the discussion of aging in a more macroscopic way. “It’s about understanding the challenges, causes and consequences of Brazil’s increasingly aging population,” he said.
