Prior classification in broad competition
Candidates will first be classified in the broad competition. Then, those who meet the criteria for quotas will be classified according to the rules of the new Quota Law.
Specific quotas for quilombolas
The ordinance includes specific quotas for quilombolas, that is, remnants of quilombo communities belonging to ethnic-racial groups.
Reduction of family income for vacancy reservations
There was a reduction in family income for vacancies, ensuring a more equitable distribution.
Concept of people with disabilities and quilombolas
The concept of a person with a disability was changed and quilombolas were included in the vacancy reserve.
Ordinance no. 2,027/2023 modifies MEC Normative Ordinances no. 18/2022, which deals with the reservation of places in federal universities and federal secondary-level technical education institutions, and MEC n. 21/2012, which deals with Sisu.
The first article of the new ordinance changes the text that defines people with disabilities, including quilombolas in the reservation of places. The standard also highlights the guarantee of at least one place for each reservation per type of quota, following article 5 of Decree no. 7,824/2012, and the practice of rounding up in the calculation stages.
The annex to the ordinance presents updated formulas for calculating reserved vacancies, applicable both by Sisu and by federal public institutions in their own selection processes.
These changes seek to promote greater equity and inclusion in access to higher education through Sisu.
