An alliance built from the ground up
The starting point was the cooperation agreements signed on April 28 and 30, 2025, between Dispurse and the district municipalities of Pucyura and Huarocondo, respectively. The objective of both agreements was the creation and strengthening of the Municipal Community Schools in each district, integrating Dispurse's literacy program as a central pedagogical axis.
Within the framework of these agreements, Dispurse assumed responsibility for providing access to the FOCUS application, training municipal technical teams for its implementation, and providing ongoing pedagogical support—including identifying and evaluating participant learning. The municipalities, for their part, committed to ensuring the operational sustainability of the schools: guaranteeing the participation of specialists, teachers, and facilitators; providing the necessary spaces and furniture; and managing supplementary resources for the program's operation.
Official Recognition
In February 2026, the Anta Local Education Management Unit (UGEL Anta) granted official recognition to both schools, enabling them to certify the community learning achieved by their participants through the training process. These certificates are valid in Alternative Basic Education (EBA) and Technical Productive Education (ETP), thus opening a formal pathway for continued education within the national system for each participant.
With these two new Open Community Schools (ECAs), Dispurse consolidates its presence in the province of Anta and expands its network of Open Community Schools in the Cusco region, where it already operates in Andahuaylillas and Huaro, in the province of Quispicanchi. Nationally, the ECA is also present in Los Baños del Inca, Cajamarca.
The agreements with Huarocondo and Pucyura are another step in that direction: building, district by district, a community-based educational offering with technical support, official recognition, and the capacity for sustainability.
