What happened in Action Week 2008?
Nearly 43 thousand children in over 300 schools in different parts of the country participated in the World’s Biggest Lesson. In Lima, one of the lessons took place opening a public event to present the GCE’s School Report cards for Latin America with special reference to the evaluation of Peru with the presence of Ministers, Congressmen and educational authorities of different districts.

Well known political and opinion leaders, including the President of the National Assembly of Regional Governments and the past President of the National Council for Education commented on exclusion, political will and different features of quality education in Peru, while children, parents and teachers gave their testimonies on the difficulties in accessing quality education in the country.

Similar public events will take place in five other main cities in the country from July until October.  

What happened in Action Week 2007?

Emotive commemorative marches were well attended in Lima and 12 other cities in the country by almost 8,000 children and teenagers carrying banners demanding the government fulfill its promises and allocate more money to education.

In Lima, the children were received at the Bolivar Square, by a group of Congressmen, amongst them Guido Lombardi, President of the ODM Commission. He was given letters by the children that requested greater investment into schools and efforts to make schools more inclusive. In response, Guido stated his support for the Right to Education for everyone and promised to advocate for this to his other congressmen.

Deputy Congressman, Rosario Sasieta declared that “a Congress that does not support education is not worthy of the office.” Another event to still happen in Peru is a Big Hearing to take place later in the year.
