Students and parents across Peru have rejected the government’s announcement of scholarship reductions, warning that thousands of young people living in poverty will be left without access to vocational training. Demonstrators are demanding that the new administration of José Balcázar allocate the necessary funds to fulfill its promise of awarding 20,000 scholarships. The measure has sparked widespread concern among families who see education as a vital path out of poverty, and pressure is mounting on the government to reverse the decision and guarantee opportunities for vulnerable youth.
