- The Comptrollers Office warned of deficiencies in construction of more than S/ 2.2 million that put children and teachers at riskPiura.- The Comptroller General of the Republic - CGR warned of the existence of cracks, fissures and construction displacements in the improvement work of the Initial Educational Institution No. 1351, received in October 2024 and settled last year for more than S/ 2.2 million, a situation that puts the safety of children and teachers at risk.
The work, located in the Santa Cruz human settlement, in the district of Tambogrande, province of Piura, presents deficiencies that also compromise the quality and useful life of the infrastructure recently placed at the educational service of minors.
According to Concurrent Control Report No. 005-2026-OCI/2413-SCC, corresponding to the period from April 24 to 30, 2026, a longitudinal crack was identified in the floor slab of the classroom for 5-year-old students, as well as diagonal cracks in walls, fissures in the beam-column connection of the classrooms for 3- and 5-year-old children, as well as displacements between sidewalks and walls in environments intended for 4 and 5 year old students.
The control commission indicated that these deficiencies would show contractual breaches and generate risk for the educational population, because they affect the quality, stability and durability of the infrastructure designed to provide safe care to children at the initial level.
The project was executed by the District Municipality of Tambogrande with the objective of improving the conditions of the educational service and offering safe environments for students and teachers. The work includes the construction of educational spaces on an area of 856 square meters for the benefit of the families of the Santa Cruz human settlement.
The work was officially received in October 2024 by the commune after the committee in charge granted approval to the observations made during the final inspection. Subsequently, in April 2025, the entity approved the final settlement of the contract for S/ 2,262,052 and even recognized a balance in favor of the contractor for more than S/ 141,000.
The Comptrollers Office recommended that immediate corrective measures be adopted to guarantee the safety of students and teachers, as well as the durability of educational infrastructure.
