Education: Back off the agenda
Published in the journal Management

presidential campaign has focused on economic aspects and, as always, has abandoned the sector that should form the basis of any initiative to bolster the country's development: education. Both candidates are so concerned to reassure the market and prevent the distrust that arouse their proposals (or background) affect economic performance, proactive capabilities that have lost some key issues. The electoral agenda are making them not only the circumstances.

And their absence in the current debate is proof that this disinterest is a structural weakness of our political class.

would mean ignoring the progress made in the last five years, particularly with regard to the importance of periodic evaluation and training of teachers, but there is a feeling that could be more. The Peruvian students continue in the last places in reading comprehension and logical-mathematical reasoning, while young people face a range of higher education to poor quality.

Do you encourage any candidate to promote consensus that education needed to occupy the place it deserves on the agenda of social and economic development of the country?
