different dates
The three municipalities of Pará state have different exam application schedules. Belém, Ananindeua and Marituba are the exceptions for November 30th and December 7th.
The measure aims to better serve students in these regions in view of the logistical impact of the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) to be held in the state during the period when exams will be conducted across the country.
Another place with different dates is Rio Bonito do Iguacu, a city in Paraná state that was destroyed by a tornado on Friday (7/11). Almost the entire urban structure of the municipality was damaged.
The Ministry of Education (MEC) has not yet set a new exam date for the city, but it is thought that it will be the same as the municipality of Pará state.
