Análise dos recursos solicitados para atendimento Especializado e/ou específico no Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio: série histórica (2016-2020)

Abstract

This study aimed to: 1) identify the number of people registered in the National High School Exam (known in Brazil by the acronym ENEM), from 2016 to 2020, which requested some kind of Specialized and/or Specific Service, with emphasis on the frequency of those that are part of the so-called target population of Special Education (known in Brazil by the acronym PAEE); and 2) identify the types of resources requested by the applicants registered to relate the conditions of this population to such resources. Data were obtained through the records provided by the National Institute for Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (INEP) and analyzed through descriptive statistics, with the support of the Microsoft® Office Excel on a high-performance computer. The results pointed to the high growth of the autistic population and the reduction of deaf people. However, there is an overall decrease in candidates who take ENEM (about 33%), and groups that resist and oppose the logic of reduction are increasingly scarce. Attention has been called to the fact that some resources, such as stretchers and computers, do not reach the dozens, while others exceed the thousands (easily accessible room and transcription aid). This data indicates that both are possible resources for different populations, aimed at meeting the singularities of these subjects.
