Open Doors: National Agreement for Education

The "Open Doors" consultation was carried out by the Peruvian transition government in 2001, responding to the need for an open and plural dialogue between the State and civil society in order to reach a consensus on a national education strategy. The objective was to identify the existing flaws in the education system in order to determine the objectives, goals and actions in the short and medium term, ultimately producing a results report. For this, various stages of direct voting, consultation of experts, and work tables and commissions were carried out. The result was a National Agreement for Education, which defines how to face the challenges of the year 2021. Civil, educational, private and social sectors were widely involved.
