Lima and Callao Shift Schools Online for Nov. 14 as Transport Strike Splinters

Major transport guilds plan to keep services running, backing a youth‑led march against extortion.

Overview

  • Education authorities (DRELM and DREC) ordered public schools to conduct classes remotely on Nov. 14, while private schools were told to assess measures under their autonomy.
  • Universities including UNI, PUCP, Universidad del Pacífico, Universidad de Lima and USIL moved academic activities to virtual formats for the day.
  • Urban, interprovincial and multimodal leaders—citing Martín Ojeda—said there will be no general shutdown and that regular transport operations will continue.
  • Organizers such as Julio Campos and Walter Carrera said their sectors would support a Generation Z mobilization in downtown Lima rather than halt services.
  • The Interior Ministry said police presence will be reinforced and dialogue with transport groups will continue, as the original call to strike highlighted extortion and killings targeting drivers.
