The relationship between Dispurse Foundation and the Peruvian Ministry of Education has a long history. In November 2022, we formalized our first collaboration through Agreement No. 036-2022, which allowed us to implement the Dispurse Literacy Program in coordination with the Regional Directorates of Education and the Local Educational Management Units. During 2023 and 2025, the first agreement resulted in 10 literacy circles in the province of Cutervo and 15 in the province of Hualgayoc in the Cajamarca region.
That work laid the groundwork for taking another step. In March 2026, the Dispurse Foundation and the Ministry of Education signed Agreement No. 010-2026, a new inter-institutional collaboration agreement with a three-year term. This agreement expands the scope of our joint intervention: it now encompasses not only the Literacy Program but also the Alternative Basic Education Program for Youth and Adults (PEBAJA), focusing on the initial and intermediate cycles, prioritizing rural areas and areas of extreme poverty in the region.
Within the framework of this agreement, the Dispurse Foundation provides specialized technical assistance to teaching teams, tablets with the FOCUS application for students, and research studies on learning processes. The Ministry of Education (MINEDU), through the Directorate of Alternative Basic Education (DEBA), coordinates implementation in the field and develops annual work plans.
The growth since that first agreement is significant. From 25 literacy circles until 2025, we now work with 786 students in 53 circles distributed across four provinces of Cajamarca: Cutervo, Hualgayoc, Celendín, and the province of Cajamarca. To support this rollout, during the week of May 18-26, the Dispurse team of specialists in Cajamarca began the first round of in-person workshops: nearly 70 facilitators, mentors, coordinators, and directors of Alternative Basic Education Centers (CEBA) are being trained in the pedagogical use of the FOCUS application, with the goal of integrating technology directly into literacy programs.
We are convinced that strong institutional partnerships are essential for real and sustainable change. This new agreement demonstrates that when organizations join forces, the right to education becomes more accessible to those who need it most.
Under 12 månader har vi följt en grupp elever på SFI studieväg 1, tillsammans med lärare från Mölndals stad. Lärarna har generöst stöttat och varit engagerade i testningen av Digital kompetens – från grunden. De har inte bara bidragit med sin tid, sina lokaler, värdefull feedback utan även deltagare som velat vara med och testa lösningen.
