The Ministry of Education (Minedu) launched actions at the national level to guarantee a Good Start to the 2026 School Year for 6,225,274 regular basic education students, through permanent monitoring of the main processes of the public education system, whose classes are scheduled to start on Monday, March 16.
This work includes monitoring school enrollment, the timely delivery of educational materials, the hiring of teachers and assistants, and the preventive maintenance of school premises, with the aim of ensuring that classes begin in adequate conditions.
The Minedu monitors and articulates actions on educational services that operate in 53,631 initial, primary and secondary schools of regular basic education. Of these, 10,989 are located in urban areas and 42,642 in rural areas, which allows timely attention according to the needs of each territory.
As part of this national deployment, Minedus actions make it possible to collect information from the territory, identify early warnings and coordinate solutions with the regional directorates or managements of Education and the 225 local educational management units (UGEL) throughout the year, especially between the months of January and March, a fundamental stage to ensure an orderly start of classes.
The Minister of Education, Jorge Figueroa Guzman, highlighted that this coordinated work between the national government, the regions and the UGEL strengthens the response of the educational system. We are reviewing each process together with the regions and the UGEL so that the school year starts well throughout the country and families have the peace of mind that their children will start classes in appropriate conditions, he said.
Currently, the public educational system serves more than 4.3 million students in urban areas and nearly 1.9 million in rural areas, reaffirming the presence of the State and its commitment to timely and quality education throughout the country.
