Abstract
Based on the results obtained by deaf students in the National Secondary Education Examination (ENEM), and on official statistics on the number of deaf students in higher education, this article argues that the underrepresentation of deaf students in higher education derives at least in part from the inadequate conditions of accessibility that characterize the exam. It discusses the steps that should be taken by the federal government in order to overcome this situation.
