Piura Parents Protest Teacher’s Reassignment to Girls’ School Over Misconduct Probe

Regional education officials say they were unaware of prior complaints, a claim parents dispute with alleged messages.

Overview

  • Dozens of families rallied outside the Piura regional government demanding the immediate annulment of the teacher’s appointment to I.E. Nuestra Señora de Fátima.
  • Parents say the educator is under investigation for alleged harassment and inappropriate touching of minors at I.E. Túpac Amaru in Frías, where he previously worked.
  • The DRE of Piura issued a statement asserting it had no knowledge of investigations, while parents presented screenshots they say show authorities were informed.
  • Families kept their daughters home and said the teacher requested a two‑month paid leave after learning of the community’s opposition.
  • The school director reported being threatened and APAFA leaders call the reassignment irregular, warning of escalation if the teacher attempts to enter the campus.
