Peruvian President Martin Vizcarra on Tuesday reaffirmed his administration's commitment to improving educational quality and urged all sectors to work jointly in order to make important progress regarding this goal.

"This year, education will show significant advances. We will improve education with everyone's support. If we do so, we will lay the foundations for the progress and development all Peruvians deserve," the Head of State expressed. 

"There is a lot to do, but we are here to prove our commitment to education," he added. 

According to the top official, it is necessary that all the Inca country's sectors —such as regional governors and local mayors— participate in the task of elevating the educational quality

Likewise, the statesman underlined his administration seeks the success of the school year start in all the corners of Peru. 

Furthermore, he noted the government's efforts to improve connectivity in the whole country by bringing Internet to the areas which lack this service. 

In this sense, Lambayeque is the first region where the optical fiber backbone tests began.
