This week started the school year in hundreds of public educational centers nationwide, having as the main disadvantage the more than 370 thousand girls, boys and adolescents who abandoned their studies due to lack of Internet connectivity during the first year of the pandemic, due to the digital divide or due to low economic resources.
Against this background, the international NGO World Vision, dedicated to working with children, families and communities to reduce poverty and injustice, as part of its campaign “Sumémonos por la Niñez” will deliver more than three thousand tablets to schoolchildren from vulnerable areas so that they do not abandon their studies and continue their education in the best possible conditions.
The electronic devices will be delivered to three thousand families in the cities of Ayacucho, Huancavelica, La Libertad, Cusco, Ancash and Lima, whose children have not been favored with those that the Ministry of Education has been distributing.
The tablets delivered will have access to “I learn at home”, GPS to track their proper use, inappropriate content protection blockers and World Vision Peru educational programs, which includes: digital reading, recreational activities and access to virtual classrooms; as well as digital platforms to promote tender parenting and reduce violence in the home.
In this regard, the executive director of World Vision Peru, Sandra Contreras, stressed that all children and adolescents in Peru should have the same study opportunities in the country and emphasized that these tablets represent the efforts of thousands of donors to the NGO, with the aim of contributing to the continuity of education in the country and the training of good citizens.

Education gap in numbers
During the first year of the pandemic, 4.7% of school-age girls and boys did not access the ‘Aprendo en Casa’ program either on radio, television or the Internet. Added to this is the lack of accompaniment from their parents and teachers in their remote classes. Only 30.9% of families received detailed feedback from teachers and around 30% did not complement their children’s education with other activities to reinforce what they had learned.
