Gender equity in Peruvian education

Abstract

There is an urgent agenda such as incorporating the gender approach into national public policies, with the aim of reducing and/or eliminating inequality gaps between men and women in different areas of social, political, cultural, educational development, etc. This approach has been discussed since Jomtien in 1990; however, Peru did not comply with this agreement. In 2000 in Dakar, several countries, including Peru, sat at the table, and agreed to incorporate the gender perspective in educational policies, which is based on the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 5), after that commitment, the UNESCO carried out a diagnosis regarding the incorporation of the agreement, which showed that this commitment has not been fully complied with. In addition, the lack of political will has added a religious ideology that does not accept the incorporation of the gender perspective in educational policy.
