Analysis of the educational system of Peru and its impact with the Digital Transformation

Abstract

This research work presents a systematic review whose objective is to analyze the educational system of Peru and the impact it had with the Digital Transformation, the same one that was accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis carried out, and its subsequent result and discussion, fall on 3 important pillars that have been considered: online services, telecommunications infrastructure and human capital. Each of these pillars has been reviewed based on existing documentation, such as research papers, press releases, bills, ministerial resolutions, strategic solutions, among others. Likewise, these pillars have been analyzed in different periods of time so that we can show the changes they have experienced, for example, before and after the pandemic. The first results show us that access to quality education was reduced with tele-education during the pandemic, despite the fact that teacher participation in pedagogical training programs, especially related to Information and Communication Technologies, increased approximately by 50% compared to the last 4 years. Similarly, high-speed Internet access through the National Fiber Optic Dorsal Network did not have the expected results and, on the contrary, generated millionaire losses for the State for many years.
