The Ministry of Education (MINEDU) performs an articulated work with the Public Ministry, the Ministry of Interior (Mininter) and the National Police of Peru (PNP) to identify criminals that threaten private schools. In the next few days, an inter -institutional agreement will be signed with the Mininter to strengthen safety in schools and apply preventive programs throughout the country. Likewise, from the Minedu it was reported that work tables have been made with the PNP in which private school associations have also participated.
According to PNP information, there are 28 formal complaints and 177 schools at risk due to extortion, as announced by the Vice Minister of Institutional Management, Cecilia Garcia. Therefore, he asked the associations of private schools to provide the authorities with all the information about educational institutions that have received threats. He urged the directors of these schools to report extortion cases for the police to carry out their investigation work.
We are working with 9 private school associations, such as the National Association of Private Colleges (Anacopri); we have made 9 work tables together with the Ministry of Interior, and in 2 of them these associations, the Regional Directorate of Education of Lima Metropolitana and the UGEL participated. The objective was to strengthen the preventive programs through the Community Police, as well as the participation of the BAPE, school police and youth patrols.
He said that among the main agreements achieved in meetings and technical tables, the implementation of the pilot plan was approached in Lima Norte; the mapping of police officers responsible for each school, and the fluid articulation with the municipal serenazgo; as well as multisectoral operations with ATU and Sutran.
Vice Minister Garcia finally stated that private schools have the open doors of Minedu to raise their concerns and proposals, and urged to continue working together to soon have tangible results that guarantee the security of the entire educational community.
