On Wednesday, Governor Raquel Lyra vetoed a bill that would grant fee waivers for college entrance exams in Pernambuco.
The bill aimed to provide fee waivers for students from public schools in the state, but the Governor vetoed it citing financial impact.
In response to criticism, Governor Raquel Lyra announced the creation of a Working Group to discuss the issue, including representatives from various state departments.
In addition to rejecting the fee waiver, Governor Raquel Lyra also proposed a salary increase for secretaries and executive positions in the state government.
