Nova SBE, in collaboration with Observador published for the 5th consecutive year a schools ranking based on national secondary exams and a second ranking based on equity, an indicator that was used for the 1st time. Also to this journal, Ana Balcão Reis stressed that "the ranking alone does not allow to assess the quality of a school", but it contributes to "greater transparency and accountability." To Expresso she emphasizes that “the democratization of access to information” and the greater “dialogue and attention around the classifications she observed within the school and between the school and the parents”. “Exams are not the only objective of the school. However, they are an important part and have the advantage of providing objective and measurable data.”
