Living in Peru : your everyday companion

Peruvian Vice President Luis Giampietri Rojas said the National Anti-Corruption Plan should be taught in schools to educate students on this important subject since early ages.

He recalled that these types of subject areas, such as civic education, were taught in schools years ago to instruct students on how to behave and interact properly in society.

"I always thought that the fight against corruption could be part of civic education courses in schools," Giampietri said as he reiterated that civic education should be included again within the school curricula.
 
Giampietri even suggested that El Niño weather phenomenon and its impact should also be taught in schools so students can be aware of the danger involved when building a house in areas where flooding may occur.

Regarding the fight against corruption, Giampietri noted that Peru's government and the private sector should work together to address this problem.

Peru's National Anti-Corruption Plan is crucial in the government’s efforts to mainstream the anti-corruption agenda and promote ethics and integrity in the country’s individual, corporate and social structures.
