Peru advances with firm steps towards the international goal of UNESCO: reduce illiteracy. This is thanks to the strengthening of the Alternative Basic Basic Education Literacy Program (EBA) promoted by the Ministry of Education (MINEDU). This effort, backed by the government of President Dina Boluarte, guarantees that more young and adults access education and complete their studies.
The literacy program takes place under an educational continuity perspective: reading and writing is not the final goal, but the beginning of a trajectory that leads to the conclusion of primary school in the EBA modality. Thus, the beneficiaries are not only 1.2 million people in illiteracy, but also those who left primary school, raised the figure to more than 3.3 million Peruvians, who have the opportunity to resume their studies.
In 2024, the program served 22,658 students in 19 prioritized regions, of which 10 746 concluded the third degree of the intermediate cycle, equivalent to primary school. This figure represents 47 % graduation, the highest rate in the history of the program, which shows sustained advance. In 2022, the rate was 12 %; In 2023 he reached 26 %, and in 2024, he doubled.
The Minister of Education, Morgan Quero, highlighted the impact of these results: We are demonstrating that the commitment and investment in education transform lives. Literacy is not only to teach to read and write, it is to open the doors to social inclusion, citizen participation and to the construction of a future with more opportunities, he said.
In addition, the head of the sector stressed the importance of maintaining educational continuity through alternative basic education (EBA). In 2024, this modality attended 181 245 students in 1564 Alternative Basic Education Centers (CEBA) in the country, with flexible schedules and various modalities (face -to -face, semipresencial and distance) that adapt to young people and adults in poverty, people deprived of liberty, older adults and people with hearing impairment.
Looking ahead to 2025, it is projected that more than 3000 students graduate from the program, consolidating the goal of progressively reducing illiteracy towards the international standard. In the Minedu we are convinced that literacy is to give each Peruvian the key to a better future. Literacy is the bridge that unites knowledge with the action and allows young people and adults to hear their voice and actively participate in society, concluded Minister Morgan Quero.
