📋 Tender Overview
The Regional Directorate of Education of Metropolitan Lima (DRELM) promotes, together with Khan Academy, a strategic alliance that has established itself as one of the main good educational practices in the capital. This collaboration is transforming the way of teaching and learning in public schools, integrating the pedagogical use of technology with continuous teacher training.
Within the framework of educational policies prioritized by DRELM, the initiative seeks to customize teaching, promote autonomous learning and strengthen digital skills in the classroom. Thanks to the Khan Academy platform, more than 145 thousand students reinforce their knowledge in mathematics and science, while 2,864 teachers have incorporated this tool in their classes, also receiving a 120 -hour certification that enhances their professional development.
The impact is also reflected in the educational institutions: 361 schools in the seven UGEL of Metropolitan Lima already work with the platform, and 87% of them are connected to the administration panel, which allows specialists from UGEL and DRELM to monitor in real time the progress of the students. International investigations point out that those who dedicate at least 30 weekly minutes to Khan Academy during a school year achieve between 25% and 38% more progress in their learning.
In parallel, the Regional School of Continuing Training of the DRELM has organized four webinars aimed at teachers, where Khanemigo, a pedagogical assistant based on artificial intelligence created by Khan Academy and Microsoft. This tool, available for free in 18 Latin American countries, including Peru, seeks to reduce the administrative burden of teachers and allow them to devote more time to the essential: teach and accompany their students.
The first results in diagnostic evaluations reflect significant improvements in learning, confirming that the combination of technological innovation and teacher training is an effective path to transform public education.
Khan Academy is an ally for the classroom: while students reinforce, consolidate and expand their learning at their own rhythm, teachers find a tool that allows them to accompany better, customize teaching and dedicate more time to what really matters: motivate, guide and transform lives, said Gissela Cuadros Caballero, educational coordinator of Khan Academy Peru.
DRELM stressed that this effort not only improves learning, but also strengthens pedagogical practice in the classroom, based on a more innovative and quality education.
The alliance with Khan Academy represents a good practice that articulates technological innovation with teacher training. This effort brings us closer to the quality education that our students deserve, said Marcos Tupayachi, director of the DRELM.
