📋 Tender Overview
Regulatory proposal establishes six basic quality conditions for non-face-to-face modalities. The university community is invited to send their comments and contributions until December 17.
The National Superintendency of University Higher Education (Sunedu) approved, through Superintendency Resolution No. 056-2025-SUNEDU, the publication of the draft Regulation of Basic Quality Conditions (CBC) for the provision of university higher educational services in the blended and distance modality.
With this regulatory proposal, Sunedu seeks to organize and raise the quality standard of courses and programs that are taught partially or totally with non-face-to-face mechanisms, so that students have equivalent levels of academic demand, support and services to those offered in the face-to-face modality. The regulation clearly defines the face-to-face components that can accompany blended and distance learning, as well as the obligations that universities must comply with to offer and sustain this type of programs.
Thus, the project organizes the basic quality conditions into six axes:
1. CBC I - Training and regulatory proposal on the blended and distance modality: requires that the university have a clear regulatory framework and a specific pedagogical management model for these modalities.
2. CBC II - Academic offer and curricular design: requires justifying the relevance of the educational offer and having study plans consistent with the graduation profile.
3. CBC III - Teacher training and support: ensures that the teaching staff is adequately selected, evaluated and trained, and that there is specialized support for blended and distance teaching.
4. CBC IV - Complementary services, formative research and academic-administrative support: guarantees complementary services, formative research opportunities and effective academic and administrative support for students.
5. CBC V - Technological and physical infrastructure: requires a robust virtual platform, adequate technological resources, quality non-face-to-face materials and, when appropriate, appropriate physical spaces such as laboratories, workshops and classrooms with equipment and furniture in good condition.
6. CBC VI - Strategies and mechanisms for the development of the blended and distance modality: requires the implementation of monitoring, support and communication strategies, as well as systems to collect information on the academic career and employability of graduates.
The proposal also includes an open list of possible face-to-face components, such as internships, laboratory activities or workshops, that universities can incorporate into their blended and distance programs in the exercise of their academic autonomy. The quality of these components will be verified mainly through the requirements linked to the technological and physical infrastructure.
To ensure compliance with the basic quality conditions, the project establishes that verification will be carried out through subsequent control, through the supervision activities that Sunedu schedules periodically. Likewise, the registration of the offer of distance programs that require face-to-face components is delimited, specifying that said registration is declarative in nature and that universities must inform Sunedu of the list of this type of study programs.
Likewise, the project provides for an adaptation period of one year before the start of supervision under the new basic quality conditions. This period will allow universities to gain in-depth knowledge of the regulations, review their blended and distance offerings and make the necessary adjustments to ensure compliance, counting one year from the date of entry into force of the regulation.
Sunedu invites the university community, professionals linked to the higher education system and citizens in general to participate in the public consultation process of the draft regulations, which will take place from December 3 to 17, 2025. Contributions and comments on the draft regulations must be sent to the email notifications-dirtensu@sunedu.gob.pe or through the virtual form available at https://forms.office.com/r/WuYt1fD8Qg. The information received will be systematized and evaluated by the competent technical areas, in order to determine, as appropriate, the adjustments that should be incorporated into the final text of the standard.
