Peru Congress Promulgates Law to Safeguard Appointed University Teachers Through 2026

The move targets a cohort left in legal limbo after the repeal of Law 23733, with implementation pending publication in El Peruano.

Overview

  • Acting congressional president Fernando Rospigliosi Capurro signed the measure in a ceremony at the Legislative Palace attended by legislators and university delegations.
  • For lecturers appointed under the now‑repealed Law 23733, the master's and doctorate requirements in articles 82 and 83 of Law 30220 become optional or not enforceable.
  • The law extends the broader adaptation deadline for faculty at public and private universities to December 30, 2026.
  • Congressional leaders framed the step as a pragmatic correction that does not weaken university reform and that averts mass dismissals.
  • Entry into force awaits publication in the Diario Oficial El Peruano, which officials indicated is expected in the coming days to protect the 2026 academic semester.
