We are pleased to announce that we have started our literacy program with FOCUS in the district of Bambamarca with 245 young and adult students who are illiterate or have incomplete primary education
. This work is developed thanks to the agreement signed with the Ministry of Education, within the framework of the normative document N°057-2022-MINEDU, called “Guidelines for the development of the Alternative Basic Education Literacy Program”.
In November 2022, the inter-institutional cooperation agreement N°036-2022 was signed between the Ministry of Education and the Dispurse Foundation. The objective of this agreement is to implement Dispurse's Educational Proposal for the recognition of learning of students from 15 years of age and older who are illiterate, primarily in rural areas and areas of extreme poverty.
This initiative is also part of the collaboration between Fe y Alegría and Fundación Dispurse, an alliance that supports the efforts of the Directorate of Alternative Basic Education of the Ministry of Education, generating innovative experiences that have an impact on public education policies for youth and adults.
In 2023, we worked with 155 students from CEBA Fe y Alegría N°69 in the province of Cutervo. In 2024, we have started our program in 15 literacy circles of CEBA Fe y Alegría N°83 Bambamarca, in the province of Hualgayoc in the Cajamarca region.
In a significant step towards the promotion of youth and adult education, Dispurse Foundation has signed a cooperation agreement with DVV International, the Institute for International Cooperation of the German Adult Education Association (Deutscher Volkshochschul-Verband eV).
At Dispurse we are dedicated to evaluate the impact that Dispurse Literacy Program have on participants outcome in literacy and numeracy after finishing the program. That is why we, together with experienced researchers, implemented an assessment study in 2022.
The Municipality of Machupicchu, through the Deputy Manager of Social Development, and Dispurse Foundation have signed an inter-institutional cooperation agreement with the aim of combating illiteracy and promoting educational continuity for people in vulnerable situations.
