Overview

  • An official DRELM communiqué (No. 010-2025) states public schools in Lima Metropolitana will operate normally in person on Tuesday, November 4.
  • The guidance also covers private schools, which may adopt different measures under their legal autonomy to address safety.
  • DRELM said it will maintain permanent monitoring and coordinate with relevant authorities to ensure educational continuity and protection for students and staff.
  • Transport groups plan an “engine shutdown” and a moderated march on November 4, according to union spokesperson Martín Ojeda.
  • Drivers in Callao held a stoppage on Monday over escalating extortion and recent killings, which union leaders cite as the motivation for Tuesday’s action.
