The President of the Republic, Dina Boluarte, on Tuesday reiterated the Government's commitment to providing quality education and better schools for students across the country.

These remarks were made by the Head of State during her speech at the inauguration of the new educational infrastructure of the Ignacio Merino School in the city of Talara, Peru's northern Piura region.

"Today we have come to inaugurate this educational institution, fulfilling our word and the commitment we made as a Government to provide better education (services) and better schools to our students across the country," she stated.

The top official recalled that the educational institution is named after Ignacio Merino, in honor of the renowned Peruvian painter born in Piura, who achieved great international prestige in Paris, France.

"May this figure inspire our young people to shine in the professional careers they choose in the future," she said.

The Head of State mentioned that when she took office, she had found an "unjustly neglected and forgotten education system" left behind by previous administrations.

"We set out to change that history by driving a true educational revolution, so that the dreams of children and adolescents begin in decent schools and become reality through quality education," she expressed.

In that regard, the top official told the students present that she works tirelessly every day "with investments that are not an expense, but an opportunity to shape the new generations."

She also noted that more than S/98 million (US$27 million) was invested in this educational institution, benefiting over 1,000 high-school students, with 26 modern classrooms, as well as laboratories, art workshops, and multipurpose rooms.

Mrs. Boluarte added that this infrastructure features earthquake-resistant design and a rainwater drainage system.

"These are works that stand the test of time and serve both today's students and future generations," she concluded.
