An investigation into the appointments to Peru’s National Education Council (2026-2029) reveals that only three of the designated councilors were proposed by the education community itself. The former minister, María Esther Cuadros, appointed Ada Gallegos Ruiz Conejo, Mileydi Flores Fernández, Livia Piñas Rivera, Luciana Puente Berry, and Guido Rospigliosi Galindo—all of whom self-nominated for the positions. This suggests a lack of representative input in the formation of the council, which is responsible for guiding national education policy. The findings raise questions about the transparency and inclusivity of the appointment process. This information was originally published by Lima Gris, a local news outlet. The composition of the council will significantly impact education initiatives over the coming years.
