Enem 2026 Falls Short on Accessibility as Approved Accommodations Were Not Delivered

Overview

• Reports from multiple states say that on Sunday, November 8, students with approved accommodations faced blocked access, denied assistive devices and misapplied proctor rules that forced some to hand in tests early.
• Families described concrete failures: a student in a wheelchair was carried up stairs at a non‑accessible site, noise‑reducing devices were mistaken for banned headphones, and proctors loudly counted down time in rooms meant for candidates with extra time.
• A 17‑year‑old autistic candidate who won a court order for an extra 60 minutes left before using the time after a proctor complained about staying late, and another student with TDAH handed in answers early after being told the session would end sooner.
• Inep says it is analyzing each complaint, confirmed at least one inaccessible site and set a formal reapplication window to request makeup exams between November 16 and 20 for tests on December 15–16.
• Lawmakers and defenders of disability rights have pressed MEC and the public prosecutor to probe site selection, staff training and oversight as families seek judicial remedies and broader fixes to ensure approved accommodations are actually provided.
