🟢 THE GOOD 🟡 NEITHER BAD NOR GOOD 🔴 THE BAD
🟢SMEs project growth due to holidays
SMEs once again demonstrate why they are the engine of Peruvian employment. Projecting up to 8% growth in National Holidays, with up to 12% more temporary hires, confirms that digitalization and improved customer service are producing results. This dynamism, which is driven by rewards and greater family consumption, deserves recognition. The challenge is for the State to accompany this growth with economic stability and security, so that it is sustained throughout the year.
🟢Actions against impunity at UNAC
Sunedu’s intervention at the National University of Callao (UNAC) is good news for public education. That the superintendency requires the comptroller to investigate thoroughly, after the work of this newspaper that revealed payments to a deceased teacher and a multi-million dollar project paralyzed, shows that institutional control works when there is will. With the entire leadership under fiscal processes, this measure should be the breaking point towards transparent management, not one under suspicion.
🔴To put a stop to school violence
A schoolboy stabbed in the back, with a punctured lung, in San Juan de Lurigancho, is an alarm that the authorities can no longer ignore. That seven teenagers attack another minor at the door of their school reveals the failure of youth violence prevention policies in Lima. We demand immediate action from the police, the Ministry of the Interior and the educational authorities: greater police presence, school prevention programs and effective punishment for those responsible.
