Pedagogical measures will ensure the recovery of class hours in schools that will be voting locationsThe Ministry of Education (Minedu) reported that the regional directorates and management of Education (DRE and GRE), as well as the local educational management units (UGEL), must guarantee the timely availability of public and private educational institutions that have been considered as voting locations during the General Elections on Sunday, April 12. On this occasion, 10,130 school premises have been planned for this purpose.
The provision responds to inter-institutional coordination with the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE), within the framework of the necessary actions to ensure the proper development of election day.
The Minister of Education, Maria Esther Cuadros, indicated that the school premises that will function as voting centers must be available from Friday, April 10 to Monday, April 13 to allow the installation, development and closure of the electoral process. The list of educational institutions has been sent to the corresponding authorities for verification and management.
Likewise, he urged the regional educational authorities to guarantee the availability of the premises within the established deadlines and to coordinate with the electoral authorities to ensure that this objective is met in an orderly and planned manner.
The minister added that it is also necessary to coordinate with the directors of the selected educational institutions and adopt the necessary organizational and pedagogical measures so that students make up the classes they could not receive, thus ensuring the continuity of the educational service and compliance with the effective hours only in the schools that will function as voting locations.
On the other hand, the decentralized entities of the Education sector were tasked with supervising the proper use of school infrastructure and ensuring the timely restoration of operating conditions once the electoral process is concluded.
With this measure, the Minedu reaffirms its commitment to contributing to the orderly development of the democratic process, while safeguarding the continuity of the educational service in the country.
