Education in Peru is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education, which is in charge of formulating, implementing and supervising the national educational policy.^[1] According to the Constitution, education is compulsory and free in public schools for the initial, primary and secondary levels.^[2] It is also free in public universities for students who are unable to pay tuition and have an adequate academic performance.^[3] As of 2008, various institutions such as UNESCO, World Bank, and the Inter-American Development Bank have stated that Peru has the best education system in Latin America ^[4] and that primary, secondary, and superior education attendance rates were the highest in Latin America.^[4]
