The state established the University of San Juan de Lurigancho fifteen years ago, yet the institution still lacks a physical campus and adequate funding. Despite the appointment of an organizing commission by Minister María Esther Cuadros, no financial resources were provided to facilitate its operation. This ongoing neglect persists under the current administration of José María Balcázar. In response to the Ministry of Education's failure to resolve the crisis, local residents have taken action. Community members are now offering their own communal spaces to ensure young students have a place to study. The situation highlights a significant gap between official designations and actual institutional support.
