Education in Peru

 

Hi everybody, welcome back to another blog, today´s topic going to be about the issues of education in Peru.

This country has many important issues in their system of education we going to mention 3 big problems that could be improve, but we going to explain just 1.

The 3 big problems that should be improved are: decrease child illiteracy, investment in education and levels of reading comprehension and mathematics.

Decrease child illiteracy, According to data from the Ministry of Education of Peru (MINEDU), the illiteracy rate in Peru is 5.9%, with more than 1,300,000 people who cannot read or write. Reducing this gap has been one of the pending issues for many years. Illiterate people have a very low probability of having a formal job and are more prone to the same difficulties as their family members. The regions with the highest levels of illiteracy in the country are: Apurímac, Huancavelica, Huánuco and Ayacucho with rates that vary between 12% and 15%, exceeding the national average.

Despite the fact that there are many state schools in Peru, not all children have the possibility to go, either because of the distance or because their parents have no one to leave them with. Also mention that, the deficit of teachers for this year increased and it is no coincidence that this will increase over the years, if good efforts are not made in public education.
