Overview
- The SUTEP union is carrying out a 24-hour nationwide stoppage today with marches in Lima and multiple regions, with organizers projecting thousands in the capital and up to 400,000 participants across the country.
- The Ministry of Education issued Resolution 238-2025 deeming the protest improper and illegal and ordered pay deductions for any day not worked.
- Authorities have not announced a suspension or reprogramming of public-school classes, though partial disruptions are expected in some areas.
- SUTEP’s platform centers on securing 6% of GDP for education, approval by insistence of a teachers’ pension law, payment of a S/487 bonus and the S/200 salary tranche, escolaridad for newly named teachers, steps toward a 1 UIT salary in 2026, and repeal of Laws 32123 and 32242.
- Union leaders say today’s action could precede further measures if commitments are not met, while penitentiary workers plan separate protests despite an official ruling against their strike.
