Peru’s Ministry of Education, under Minister José Antonio Chang, is prioritizing evaluation processes while seemingly neglecting legal obligations outlined in Law N.º 29944, the Teacher Reform Law. Specifically, Article 61 of this law, enacted in November 2012, mandates a one-time economic incentive for teachers who achieve a master’s or doctoral degree. Despite this legal requirement, the benefit has remained unfulfilled for over a decade, raising questions about the difficulties in adhering to the law under the government of Keiko Fujimori. The situation centers on a court ruling ordering the bonus payment to teachers. It remains uncertain whether the Fujimori administration will finally implement the mandated financial incentive. The original report was published in Lima Gris.
