Peru Public University Strike Paused Nationally as Local Walkouts Persist

Budget decisions in Congress will determine whether classes fully resume.

Overview

  • FENDUP voted on Nov. 23 to suspend the indefinite strike after securing payment of CTS, pay for newly appointed faculty, and a S/700 raise for three categories.
  • CONFENDUP keeps an indefinite stoppage, and some local committees remain active or undecided, including a push at UNP to continue through Nov. 30.
  • In Arequipa, UNSA enters a third week of paralysis, with union leaders warning that any funding shortfall could hit canteens, transport and academic mobility.
  • UNPRG in Lambayeque will extend the current academic cycle to late January 2026 and add weekend classes to recover lost time.
  • At Unsch in Ayacucho, classes resume after the suspension, while prosecutors investigate alleged admissions irregularities following raids on university offices.
