Peru’s National Superintendency of Higher Education (Sunedu) has filed a legal action, known as an *acción de amparo*, against the Ministry of Education (Minedu) regarding the removal of its acting superintendent. Sunedu alleges that the Ministry’s decision violates both Peruvian law and its own internal regulations. The lawsuit claims the removal was unlawful and undermines the autonomy of the higher education oversight body. Sunedu asserts the Ministry overstepped its authority in initiating the superintendent’s removal. This legal challenge marks a significant dispute between the two entities responsible for governing higher education in Peru. The outcome of the case could have implications for the independence of Sunedu and the future of higher education regulation in the country. Further details regarding the specific reasons for the removal and the legal arguments presented are expected to emerge as the case progresses.
