The Ministry of Education, Science and Innovation has officially communicated to schools that the Portuguese language assessment test for 6th-grade students, known as the “Moda” test, has been rescheduled. The examination is now set to take place next Tuesday, the 9th.
Context of the Rescheduling
This decision follows a widespread general strike that impacted educational institutions across the country. The industrial action resulted in the closure of many schools from the north to the south, effectively preventing thousands of students from sitting for the assessment on its original date.
Looking Ahead
As schools prepare for the new date, administrators may face ongoing challenges in coordinating the logistics of the makeup session. The ministry will need to provide further guidance to ensure that all affected students are adequately prepared and that the testing environment remains secure on the rescheduled date.
