Peru: Informal and Formal Internships Help Education

According to Andina.com.pe the Peruvian National Commission of Cooperation with Unesco held a meeting in Lima on Wednesday to identify the informal and formal internships that will help increase the quality of education in Peru. The Secretary General of the Committee, Maria Isabel Miyan de Chiabra says that by recognizing the areas of popular internships, the committee can identify Peru’s economic reality. Chiabra states that this could create a clearer policy for education in Peru. Furthermore, the results of this study on internships will be presented to Unesco in order to recommend guidelines for educational activates. The meeting on internships will recognize the students who are ‘carriers of knowledge,’ and their contributions to the labor market, says Chiabra. The secretary general goes on to say that the knowledge obtained in informal education, such as an internship, allow students to develop their knowledge and works provided by formal education.Read Article
