State Schools Intensify Students' Preparation for Saeb 2025
The Saeb Movement mobilizes schools in Pará with classes, simulations, and playful activities to strengthen learning and improve network results
Focusing on improving learning and strengthening educational results, the state network schools are mobilized in the Saeb Movement (Basic Education Assessment System), with a task force that involves managers, teachers, and students in innovative and motivational pedagogical activities aimed at the application of the national assessment scheduled for this year.
Linked to the Regional Education Directorate (DRE) Belém 4, the Benjamin Constant State School of Elementary and Secondary Education, Full-Time, offers specific activities to 9th-grade students, such as the Saeb Mathematics Circuit, which transforms descriptors (elements of the reference matrices that detail the competencies and skills that students must demonstrate in a specific subject, according to the school year) into playful challenges in the format of a quiz competition. The work is based on the difficulties identified in the first simulation conducted in August. In addition, the school promotes 'intensive classes' in Portuguese and mathematics every Saturday.
Mathematics teacher Benjamin Souza emphasizes the positive impact of the actions. “The Saeb Circuit is a playful and interactive way to overcome difficulties. We work with the descriptors where students show the most fragility and turn that into a competition. Learning becomes meaningful and lasting,” he noted.
According to Portuguese teacher Danilo Maia Mercês, the preparation is continuous. “Since the beginning of high school, we have used the book 'Prepara Pará' as a basis, we conduct simulations, competitions, and even competitions with QR Codes. This way, students learn for the Saeb, but also for the Enem, acquiring knowledge that will serve them for life,” he emphasized.
9th-grade student Jaiane Emanuele de Oliveira highlighted the importance of the methodology. “I think it's really cool because we learn while playing. We make mistakes, the teacher explains, and everyone grows together,” she pointed out.
Advances - In the last system evaluation conducted in 2023, the school demonstrated significant advances, achieving 5.8 in Elementary Education and 4.9 in Secondary Education in the Basic Education Development Index (IDEB), a result considered positive and that drives new preparation strategies.
Another 15 schools managed by DRE Belém 4 are carrying out actions of the Saeb Movement, with weekly simulations, learning recovery activities, and targeted 'intensive classes'.
The director of DRE Belém 4, Andréa Libório, emphasizes the mobilization. “We are in a great task force, with playful activities and learning recovery. We have 'intensive classes' on Saturdays, use of specific notebooks and books, in addition to the partnership with the Etapa system (an education system that serves schools throughout Brazil), which applied simulations throughout high school. The goal is to ensure that all students advance together,” she concluded.
Mobilization also in Santarém
In the West of the State, the Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe State School in Santarém held the motivational lecture “Are you going to burst or give up? Your effort today is your success tomorrow!”, aimed at 9th-grade students.
According to manager Janaína Bandeira de Moraes, the initiative seeks to awaken students' self-confidence and commitment: “The Saeb is a challenge that requires dedication. We want our students to see themselves as popcorn, which goes through heat and transforms, and not as static corn or a kernel that doesn't pop.”
Student Ana Beatriz Rego Farias evaluated the experience positively. “The lecture showed that challenges can drive us to change and grow. The Saeb is part of this process, and we, students, can indeed transform education in Brazil,” she analyzed.
