On Teacher's Day, the top official highlighted the work of teachers all over the country who dedicate their entire lives and energy to training children and youth.
"The vaccination of (more than) 185,000 teachers in rural areas nationwide begins today, in such a way as to ensure the return to face-to-face classes," he indicated.
Moreover, the Peruvian leader specified that this return to classes will be voluntary in Ayacucho and the other 17 regions where the immunization of teachers has begun.
Mr. Sagasti also reiterated his call on citizens to be immunized with the doses as it is the only way to get protected against the new coronavirus.
