The President of the Republic Dina Boluarte on Friday affirmed that her administration guarantees the quality of education at every level.

The Head of State held a meeting with legislators from the Pro-University Reform Bloc, as well as with members of the Association of National Universities of Peru (AUNAP) and the National Superintendence of Higher University Education (SUNEDU).

"The administration's guidelines are clear: the quality of education at every level; all resources that this sector has will be aimed at obtaining (good) results in terms of educational quality," she expressed.

Joined by Prime Minister Alberto Otarola, the top official also affirmed that there will be a broad call for the regulation of Law No. 31520 —the law that restores the autonomy and institutionality of Peruvian universities— so that a rule emerges which benefits student.

The Cabinet chief spoke along the same lines, confirming that the government's line of action is clear in promoting educational quality.

"That is guaranteed," he said during the event held at the Government Palace in Lima.

Prime Minister Otarola reminded attendees that the Executive Branch has the obligation to comply with the ruling issued by the Constitutional Court on this regulation. Yet he announced that, for the regulation of said law, every sector will be heard so as to reach consensus for the sake of university education.

Likewise, he pledged to convene a gathering between the Executive Branch and public universities, which will allow meeting the needs of these higher education centers, accepting a proposal issued by directors of the Association of National Universities of Peru (AUNAP).

Congresswomen Flor Pablo and Karol Paredes, from the Pro-University Reform Bloc; Alfonso Lopez Chau, Americo Guevara, and Bruce Valladares, from the Association of National Universities of Peru (AUNAP); and Carlos Novoa, from the National Superintendence of Higher University Education (SUNEDU) attended the event.

At the end of this gathering, Congresswoman Flor Pablo highlighted the willingness of President Dina Boluarte towards ensuring a quality education.
