The Briefing
- President Keiko Fujimori on Monday presented Peru's first national school discipline framework, organizing student misconduct into three severity tiers — minor, serious, and very serious — with proportional consequences for each level.
- The guidelines take effect across all of Peru's public and private schools; sanctions may include temporary removal or expulsion, but no measure may result in a student permanently leaving the education system.
- The move comes after Peru's PISA 2025 scores fell to decade-low levels — 382 in mathematics and 390 in reading — and forms one pillar of a broader National Education Plan 2026–2031 that calls for 2,000 new schools.
