📋 Tender Overview
The performance improved in the Loreto and Ucayali regions, while San Martin stood out in reading and Lambayeque, in mathematicsRural School students improve in reading and mathematics and schools of a Primary Grade maintain their achievements
The OECD will take this year in Peru the PISA test and UNESCO will make us an evaluation as part of a study in 19 Latin American countries
All the students of 4th grade of the country, of public and private schools, show an important recovery of learning in reading and mathematics, while those of the 6th grade of primary school maintain their achievements, a positive result that is not preceded, according to the national evaluation of learning achievements (ENLA) 2024 carried out on November 19 and 20 of last year, reports the Ministry of Education (MINEDU).
In the 2024 it is a census test that the Minedu took to 532,000 schoolchildren of the 4th grade of 18 112 public and private educational institutions, as well as a sample test to 105 534 schoolchildren of 6 grade of primary school.
The 4th grade students had an outstanding performance: in reading, the average measurement of the census test exceeded the results they had achieved in 2023, 2022 and 2019. In mathematics, the results also exceeded those achieved in 2023 and 2022.
The results show a reduction in the proportion of students who show difficulties in achieving elementary learning for their degree (3.4 %), which is the least value achieved since 2016.
Primary school students have improved their learning and mathematics learning compared to the 2022 and 2023, and in reading the lowest levels of learning achievements have been reduced. In mathematics the percentage of students at the satisfactory level has been raised and the percentage of the lowest levels is also reduced, explained the Minister of Education, Morgan Quero.
He highlighted the improvement shown by the students of rural schools when climbing 24 points in reading and 22, in mathematics, in addition to decreasing the number of students at the lowest level of the two areas: from 23.6 % to 9.6 % in reading and from 36.8 % to 28.7 % in mathematics.
The head of the Minedu emphasized that the Loreto and Ucayali regions are the ones that have raised their average in reading and mathematics, while Tacna, Moquegua and Arequipa remain as the regions with the highest learning achievements in 4th grade of primary school in the national sphere. The San Martin region stood out in reading and Lambayeque, in mathematics.
Progress
Minister Morgan Quero indicated that the schoolchildren of 6th grade of primary school maintained the results obtained in 2022 in reading and mathematics, as well as to the average extent or in the proportion of students at the satisfactory level.
Similarly, in reading and mathematics, no changes in the results between 2022 and 2024, nor to the average extent or in the proportion of students at the satisfactory level.
The results of ENLA 2024 confirm the statement of Andreas Schleicher, Director of Education and Competitions of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD): Peru is the [Latin American country] that has shown the greatest development in the last 15 years. It has improved the quality of education, has closed the gender gap and students access a better quality education.
ISO 37301, Pisa, Erce
Minister Morgan Quero revealed that the Minedu has received the international ISO 37301 certification and becomes the first ministry to obtain this recognition of integrity, transparency and good management practices that have been accredited in all its processes.
He announced that this year there will be two international evaluations in our country: one, of the Student International Evaluation Program (PISA), developed by the OECD, which will be held between August and September; The second, an evaluation of the comparative and explanatory regional study (ERCE), organized by UNESCO, in which 19 Latin American countries participate to evaluate the comparative progress of learning in mathematics, reading, writing and science, and will be developed in October.
Peru has been selected as a host of the 61st National Coordinators Meeting in August in August. This meeting will allow us to share the advances and achievements in the education sector in the last 4 years. I am convinced that the PISA and ERCE tests will proudly show that the structural changes in Peruvian education are paying fruit, said the minister.
