There the president announced that his management has been preparing changes in the school curriculum.
“In Peru we are carrying out consultations on the new national curriculum called “Your voice for a better school”. The objective is to have a curriculum within a framework of values that promotes a new citizenship. With respect to human rights, the environment and diversity. The objective is to improve this educational quality for all without any exclusion”, said the Head of State.
It is not clear, however, what will happen to the Gender approach on the resume. In May, Congress approved a law that authorizes groups such as ‘Don’t mess with my children’ to review the content published in school textbooks. With this norm, stewardship was subtracted from the Ministry of Education (Minedu).
The president castle had announced that it was considering observing said opinion. However, on June 17, when the deadline for the Executive to respond to the autograph of this law expired, he remained silent. This allowed the then president of Congress, Maria del Carmen Alvapromulgate this law by insistence, thanks to the complacency of the Government.
Even the rule was questioned by the United Nations Educational Organization (unesco), but the head of state again appealed for silence to avoid speaking on this issue.
