The USAID Peru office education programs are concentrated at national, regional and local levels in order to enhance the quality of education in public schools.

In line with this objectives, USAID Peru has recently established an education program entitled Ethical Schools Project.

The Ethical Schools Project revolves around the notion of promoting a culture of ethical behavior and civic responsibility among members of the youth, as well as teachers and parents. The project also aims to explore ways that would contribute to a reduction in corruption and other forms of illicit activities such as cocoa cultivation and illegal environmental degradation, which are both common practices in Peru.
