The President of the Republic, Dina Boluarte Zegarra, affirmed today that investing in youth is the only guarantee for making Peru a great nation and one that can compete globally.
This statement was highlighted by the president during the welcome ceremony for the Beca18-2025 scholarship recipients, which took place in the district of San Borja.
"We have to invest in youth, which is the only guarantee for transforming our society and making Peru a great nation, a country that can compete globally, because that talent is in the veins of all Peruvians," said President Boluarte.
She also urged the scholarship recipients not to give up, but to give their all, to feel proud of each of their careers and make their families happy.
Furthermore, the head of state recalled that when she assumed the country's highest office on December 7, 2022, she found a country on the brink of collapse and proposed two pillars for her administration: health and education.
"Because if we don't have health and education, how will we transform society? And if they want to commit to their country, how can we do it if we leave them without opportunities?" she asserted.
She also recalled that when she began her administration 5,000 scholarships were awarded to young students and that her commitment is to increase that number to 50,000 scholarships by 2026.
"We hope that the new president can expand the number of scholarships not only to 50,000, but perhaps even more," she stated.
