Entity detected deficiencies in waste segregation and other environmental aspects.The Environmental Evaluation and Supervision Agency (OEFA) made unexpected visits to various educational institutions in the Junin region with the purpose of verifying the management of solid waste and adequate environmental conditions in favor of students and teachers.
The actions were developed within the framework of the new powers assumed in the Education sector and seek to prevent impacts that may represent risks for the school community and its environment.
During the supervisions, OEFA specialists evaluated the management of both municipal and hazardous solid waste, as well as the presence of gaseous emissions and noise levels on the campuses.
The head of the OEFA Decentralized Office in Junin, Ymelda Montoro, reported that in recent weeks the Salesiano Don Bosco and Latino schools have been inspected. Likewise, he specified that a total of 24 additional supervisions have been scheduled that include educational institutions, universities and technological institutes.

The entity attached to the Ministry of the Environment recalled that the directors of educational institutions are responsible for guaranteeing adequate management of this waste. In this sense, he warned that those schools that have laboratories or use clinical supplies must ensure differentiated and safe management of hazardous materials. Situations linked to emissions generated by equipment such as boilers, as well as in facilities such as swimming pools and laboratories, were also detected.
