Peru’s Education Minister Jorge Marticorena has broken his silence regarding a series of pressing issues plaguing the nation’s education system. In a comprehensive interview, he admitted that scholarships were offered to students without first securing the necessary funding. This revelation comes alongside concerns about abandoned multi-million dollar projects, specifically “domos,” and allegations of corruption within the Peruvian Institute of Sport (IPD). The minister also addressed a crisis at the National Superintendency of Higher Education (SUNEDU) and the establishment of universities lacking proper foundational support. Marticorena further responded to questions regarding his personal life, though the focus remains on the systemic problems within the education ministry. The admissions suggest widespread mismanagement and a lack of financial planning within Peru’s higher education sector.
