Overview
- The National Education Plan 2026–2031 was presented by President Keiko Fujimori and Education Minister José Antonio Chang on September 14 and sets the government's agenda for curricular change.
- The plan proposes removing "all types of ideology" from textbooks and directs history lessons to treat the 1980s–90s period as "terrorism" rather than an "internal armed conflict."
- Officials say the curriculum will be slimmed to emphasize core skills such as critical thinking, reading comprehension and math, while adding civic education, values, English and financial education.
- The ministry announced formative teacher evaluations tied to career advancement, new teacher training, a parental guide for home support and a pledge to improve timely delivery of school materials.
- Historians and critics, notably José Ragas and La República, warn the changes risk rewriting or whitewashing state responsibility from the violence and could shape how future generations understand Peru's recent past.
