YOU CAN SEE: Free admission to universities: will this bill benefit the country’s education?
To start, you should know that, after the approval by the Government of Pedro Castillo, the bill will be sent to the Congress of the Republic to be included in its agenda as a priority. Along these lines, it was learned that this proposal includes:

Likewise, the Ministry of Education stated that this initiative comprises four components, which are intended to benefit approximately 6,000 young people during its first year:
- A platform for vocational guidance and aptitude identification to assign vacancies according to the profile and interests of the students
- Free entry admission as an additional modality to the existing ones
- Scholarships for entrants by the free entry modality with the aim of covering living expenses throughout their study time and thus guaranteeing their permanence
- Expansion of vacancies in the participating public universities and the strengthening of their academic, leveling and student welfare services.
YOU CAN SEE: Free admission to universities will be only for a focused group
The leader of Education of Bicentennial Proposals, Daniel Alfaropointed out that this measure is positive and would generate “equalize opportunities”.
“In principle, it is positive for two reasons. One is because access from secondary to higher education is very low; before the pandemic it was already very low. So, we had to increase the traffic from school to university, and above all because this was also affected by the pandemic, ”he told La República.
