Luís Loures, head of the Coordinating Council of Polytechnic Institutes, stated that they have not yet officially received exam results from the Ministry of Education. This lack of official notification is hindering planning processes for higher education institutions. Loures argues that a reduction in the number of required exams could lead to a greater number of applicants. The delay in receiving results creates uncertainty for prospective students and institutions alike. He emphasized the importance of timely information for efficient student placement. The Polytechnic Institutes are awaiting clarification and the official documentation to proceed with admissions. The council is concerned about potential disruptions caused by the delayed release.
