President Martin Vizcarra on Friday questioned the preliminary ruling of Congress' Education Commission, which intends to reverse the progress of the university reform in Peru.
Within this framework, the Head of State requested lawmakers to learn from history, as it demands the
strengthening of health and
education sectors, a work to be done by authorities as a whole, he noted.
Likewise, the top official emphasized that there are very large deficits in both sectors, which must continue to be addressed and not neglected.
In this sense, the statesman insisted on the need to join efforts in order to improve the
quality of health and
education, "not enacting regulations that intend to surprise and backtrack on what we have moved forward."
"We have always seen that —when it comes to rules approved in an unexpected way— it means that someone is behind (...)," he expressed.
The top official called for action and efforts for the
benefit of health, healthy eating, and
education. "All that is demanded by Peruvians, and authorities must comply with it," he added.
For his part,
Education Minister Martin Benavides warned that —if such a proposal succeeds— it would be the most serious blow against the accurate university reform started in 2014.
