Peru’s education offers schools starting at 3 years old. There are many non-school programs aimed at poor underprivileged children. This initial education would be the American equivalence to pre-school. Since these programs aren’t required or offered by the government they do cost money and little to no funding is available.
Required education starts at 5 years of age. This is primary education, which generally lasts 6 years although it used to only go for 5. In Peru the education system works on a 20-point scale. Students need an 11 point mark to advance to secondary education. Other requirements to move on would be to pass language and math.
Secondary education is the American equivalence to junior high and high school. It’s two cycles long and both are mandatory. The first cycle offered is general studies and lasts two years. The second cycle however has closer focuses, yet further diversifies. This second cycle is a close equivalence to high school in America. There are two types of the second cycle. One for adolescents between 12 and 16 and the other type is for adults. This cycle contains arts and sciences along with some vocational options.
Higher or upper education is a university type education. This education is optional and offers technical training and programs that last between 4 to 5 years. These universities offer diplomas and certificates like bachelor degrees, master’s degrees and doctorates. These universities are controlled internally and not by the government. This makes the universities more independent and in control of their own practices.
Although there is funding available to students that wish to seek a higher education it’s much like the United States where it can be hard for the average person to receive the funds necessary. Unlike the United States financing and loans aren’t available to assist students in paying for their education. Enacting a way for students to take out loans or finance their higher education would be extremely beneficial to Peru and it’s people.
Students are required to move on to higher education too soon. They’re only required to go to school from 5 to 16. Then they move on to higher education schooling. Many students aren’t able to obtain higher education because of the lack of funding available to them. In addition they are asked to pick a vocation immediately out of secondary education.
I propose that the government open up funding to students who wish to seek higher education. Between the ages of 16 and 18 there will be more classes available to students who don’t know what vocation they would like to study in higher education. This will allow higher retention in higher education and better understanding of material.

Primary school can be related to elementary school for Americans. Students typically will start when they're 5 or 6. Many students will choose to go to a basic or initial school before primary school which is comparable to pre-school.

Students will attend secondary school which is comparable to high school when they're 11 or 12 until they're about 16. Once they finish secondary school it's then up to them if they'd like to continue on to higher education. In the United States many students go to secondary school until they're 18 or 19.

Peru exports nearly 10% of the world’s fish supply and 33% of the world’s animal meal and pellets (mostly fish product/byproduct). They vastly out export Chile, United States, Germany and Denmark. The top importers are China (25%), Germany (6.8%), Norway (6.5%), Japan (5.6%) and Taiwan (5%). Their large export comes from the fact many of their cites and towns live right at the edge of the coast.
Another large export of Peru is gold. Their gold is about 20% of their entire exports although they are only 10th in the world to export gold. They make most of their money off of their gold exports. This is an important export because gold is always sellable.
Lastly Peru exports 16% of the worlds supply of copper ore. This is 18% of Peru’s main export. I would say this is one of the most important exports because they are the only second to Chile; although they only produce half as much copper ore. Many of Peru’s other exports are about 5% or less of their entire exports.
