Government initiative will benefit 1000 students from Lima Norte and seeks to expand throughout the countryAlliance with Cisco and Universities will allow training in Python and double certification, with an international exam included
With the aim of promoting digital talent from the public classrooms, the Ministry of Education (MINEDU) launched the programming factory strategy that, in its first stage, will benefit 1000 schoolchildren of 4th and 5th of Secondary North Lima with training in Python programming and international certification.
This initiative, developed in alliance with Cisco Networking Academy, is part of the governments commitment to President Dina Boluarte for strengthening a modern, technological and inclusive public education.
Students, selected through a logic test, belong to schools in Los Olivos, Rimac, San Martin de Porres, Comas, Carabayllo, Puente Piedra, Santa Rosa and Ancon. The program includes a face -to -face initiation course at the National University of Engineering (UNI) and a specialized online training issued by the North Private University (UPN). Participants who conclude both stages will be able to perform the PCEP exam, with global validity.
This certification validates the basic programming skills in Python, a high -level, versatile and open source programming language, known for its clear and legible syntax. It is used in a wide range of applications, from web development and software to data science, automatic learning and task automation.
This pilot experience seeks to validate the pedagogical model and replicate it at the national level, in order to bring more young people to the tools and technological languages that the labor market demands today. The strategy is aligned with the Stem approach and the development of competencies such as critical thinking, logic, creativity and problem solving.
From the Ministry of Education, we are committed to providing our students with the tools they really need for their future. With this strategy, we not only teach them to program, but we open new opportunities to grow, highlight and face with confidence the challenges of the current world, said the Minister of Education, Morgan Quero.
