20:59 | Lima, Sep. 29.

Peru's Prime Minister Guido Bellido on Wednesday evening announced that the Council of Ministers session has addressed the launch of a national online teaching platform to strengthen State-run entities with Quechua language teaching.

According to the Cabinet chief, the Presidency of the Council of Ministers will launch a Quechua program structured in basic, intermediate, and advanced levels, which will be certified by San Antonio Abad del Cusco University, in coordination with its language school.

"We must announce the important actions we have taken. Today we have addressed the launch of a national online complementary teaching platform that will enhance the cultural side of all State-run entities with Quechua language," he said.

The basic level will be completed in six months, intermediate apprenticeship will take other six months to complete, and the advanced level will last three months.

"This has been part of our brothers at the national level and, later, other languages like Aymara will be added, so that the country can strengthen and deepen its cultural identity," Bellido indicated.

Remarks were made on Wednesday evening at a press conference after the Council of Ministers session at the Government Palace in Lima.
