The Peruvian Ministry of Education (MINEDU) has yet to announce a public call for nominations to replace outgoing Education Council member Miriam Ponce Vértiz, sparking concerns about the selection process. This follows a controversial appointment precedent set by the inclusion of Mery Tairo, a close associate of President Dina Boluarte, on the council. Questions are being raised about whether the process will mirror the one previously overseen by former Minister Esther Cuadros Espinoza. The situation creates uncertainty for the current administration led by José Antonio Chang. Critics fear potential political interference in the appointment. The lack of transparency is fueling speculation about the criteria for the new council member. This delay raises doubts about the council’s future direction and independence.
