The National Exam for Youth and Adult Skills Certification (Encceja) is done free of charge by the Ministry of Education with the goal of assessing competence, skills and knowledge of young people and adults who have not completed elementary school or high school at the appropriate age. In the case of the Venezuelan immigrants and refugees, it is also a chance to have the school level they reached in their country certified in Brazil.<\/p>\n

The initiative is part of the effort that the\u00a0Humanitarian Fraternity (FFHI)<\/a>\u00a0has been making in looking for lasting solutions for the complex situation of the immigrants and refugees of an indigenous origin, because of their cultural specificities. According to Jemima Bessa, coordinator of Means of Life, this exam is important \u201cbecause of the issue of recognition: their having an official schooling document would immediately bring new possibilities \u00a0for entering the job market.\u201d She also points out that the ones who achieve a high school completion certification \u201cwill be able to take entrance exams at public or private universities, and will also be able to enroll in the quota system for indigenous people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t\t
