Hey, do you live in Peru? Can you share any more observations about the situation? I'm very interested in this topic.



Sure, some months ago there was a teachers strike, they did it because the government was going to evaluate their skills, and I'm pretty sure they're scared of not passing that test. I'm talking about public schools here, private ones generally have a much higher level of education.

Again, let me tell you that it has nothing to do with religion. It's all about politics.


I don't know the American school system, but that kind of sounds like it here: low wage, strikes to resist strict policy changes for the better, politics driven. I guess it's not so much about education either, then.

Thanks for sharing.


No problem man, Peru has a lot of problems in public education and health care, but it's also a great country to visit, if you need anything else just contact me. Mail in profile.
