One of these changes is that, unlike in previous years, candidates who fail to respect human rights in the writing test will not have a zero score assigned to the assessment.
In the text in the notice, this is not mentioned as a cause capable of causing the bank to give a zero score in this case. Initially, the rule was suspended by the Attorney General's Office (PGR).
The Minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), Carmem Lúcia maintained the decision of the PGR. And the rule came into effect for the 2017 exam. At the time of the STF decision, the coordinator of the Movimento Escola Sem Partido, Miguel Nagib, responsible for public action, declared that he was waiting for the favorable decision of the STF.
The allegation of the Movement that moved the action is that the correction criteria in the Enem when zeroing essays that hurt the human rights in past essays, is that the candidates' right to free expression of thought would be offended.
In 2018, in practice, students who take the Enem exams will not be able to receive a zero score if the bank evaluator consider that the text is going against the principles of human rights, as in cases of defense of abortion, for example.
