Overview
- President Keiko Fujimori presented the Plan de distribución de materiales educativos on Wednesday and announced a deliberate 'recorte' of content the government labels ideological for the 2027 textbooks.
- The Ministry of Education opened a 30-day prepublication period to collect public and expert opinions on the proposed texts, with Vice Minister Miriam Ponce saying the revisions prioritize students' integral development and objectivity.
- The curriculum changes were announced alongside new discipline lineamientos that the government links to restoring authority in schools and to specific incidents at Colegio Liceo Naval that the Education Minister said involved prior complaints against some detained students.
- The government also moved up the end date of the 2026 school year for regions forecast to face intense rains around mid-November as a precautionary administrative measure.
- The public comment window will decide final edits and could reshape how history and civic topics are taught nationwide while prompting close attention from teachers, parents, and school administrators during the coming month.
