The executive president of PRPOINVERSION made a technical visit to Cusco to verify the progress of the projects in the region.Lima, June 20, 2026.- The Private Investment Promotion Agency (PROINVERSION) reports that the High Performance College (COAR) of Cusco registers a 40% progress in its execution, consolidating itself as a modern educational infrastructure that will expand opportunities for students with outstanding abilities in the region.
The COAR Cusco is part of the COAR Centro project, awarded by PROINVERSION under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) modality, together with the COARs of Huancavelica and Pasco. This initiative represents a milestone for the country, being the first APP in the education sector aimed at improving infrastructure and complementary services for high-performing students.
The executive president of PROINVERSION, Luis Del Carpio Castro, made a technical visit to verify the progress of the work, located in the town center of Chinicara Alta, district of Oropesa, province of Quispicanchi. The new infrastructure will directly benefit 300 students each year, in 3rd, 4th and 5th grades of secondary school, who will have access to better conditions to study, live and develop their talent.
Each advance in the COAR Cusco means more opportunities for talented young people in the region. This project demonstrates that APPs can also transform public education, bringing modern infrastructure, quality services and better learning conditions without affecting the free nature of education, highlighted Del Carpio.
Currently, at the COAR Cusco, civil works are being carried out on key components such as the student residence, library, sports center areas, among other environments that will be part of a comprehensive educational infrastructure.
The COAR Centro project consists of a 20-year concession for the design, financing, construction, implementation and replacement of furniture and equipment of three High Performance Schools in Cusco, Huancavelica and Pasco. It includes maintenance, food, security, comprehensive cleaning and laundry services. The project does not include educational management or pedagogical services, which will continue to be the responsibility of the State; Likewise, free education is maintained for all students.
Together, the three COARs will directly benefit 900 students each year, with 300 students per school. The total investment amounts to approximately S/ 325 million, including VAT, according to the final approved engineering studies.
The construction of the three COARs began at the end of September 2025 and has a maximum completion period of the first quarter of 2027, with the goal of completing it sooner. As reported by the concessionaire, in addition to the advance of the COAR Cusco, the COAR Huancavelica registers 25% and the COAR Pasco 24%. The supervision and monitoring of the works corresponds to the MINEDU.

This intervention will directly benefit more than 2,600 students and constitutes the largest investment awarded in basic education under this mechanism.

The activities of the Contingency Plan are expected to begin at the end of July 2026, while the intervention at the permanent headquarters is scheduled for the end of October 2026. The I.E.
