on Monday stated that the Government allocates over S/11.4 billion (above US$3.20 billion) to improve, maintain, and build schools nationwide — the best investment in educational infrastructure over the past five administrations.
"This President is taking Peruvian education with the seriousness it deserves. We are allocating more than S/11.4 billion to improve, maintain, and build schools across the country. It is the best investment in educational infrastructure in the last five administrations," she said.
Within this framework, the top official emphasized that this investment will go down in history, as the Government is marking a before and after in Peruvian education.
Mrs. Boluarte noted that only in this way will the solid foundations for Peru's development be built —a task that is not easy, but in which firm and significant steps are being taken, such as the 41 Bicentennial Schools already operating nationwide, benefiting 62,000 students.
"By next December, we will have delivered 34 additional schools, keeping our word and reaching the goal of 75 Bicentennial Schools that will open their doors to more than 119,000 students and 5,100 teachers in Metropolitan Lima and nine regions of the country," she said.
The President announced that a memorandum has been signed with the United Kingdom to strengthen English teaching in educational institutions through teacher training and certification, online language learning, teacher exchanges, study opportunities in the UK, among others.
"Peru is opening its doors to the world’s knowledge and preparing to lead its own destiny with every partnership, every trained teacher, and every educated young person. Together, we are writing a new chapter in the history of Peruvian education," she stated.
Economic growth
The President noted that the Peruvian economy grew more than 4.5% last June, marking 15 consecutive months of expansion —a reflection of the Government’s work and its fulfillment of promises.
"We have consolidated the macroeconomic strengths that form the foundation of our development. That is why today I want to announce to all of Peru that fiscal deficit remained at 2.6% of GDP in July, for the third consecutive month. This demonstrates the stability the country enjoys," Mrs. Boluarte emphasized.
The top official also highlighted that during her recent trip to Japan and Indonesia, there was particular interest in investing in Peru, a nation with economic stability, reliable and safe for both domestic and foreign investments.
"In 2024, we set out to make it the year of economic recovery, and we achieved it. This year, 2025, we said would be the year of economic consolidation, and we are fulfilling that," she stated.
For next year, the Head of State noted that her commitment will be to double all efforts to complete pending projects and avoid leaving any unfinished, except for those scheduled beyond July 2026.
Moreover, Mrs. Boluarte urged the students of this educational institution and their parents to make the most of the Beca 18 program, which by July 2026 will offer 50,000 scholarships for higher education.
"It is a government that thinks about your future, that thinks about the nation’s future. We hope that we can also become a first-world country in the medium and long term," she concluded.
