This morning we visited the Villa la Paz, a hospice to gain a better idea of the realities and shortcomings of Peru´s public health system. We learned about how efforts from individual doctors, with help from the private sector, try to overcome these shortcomings.
Lunch was at the Jose Antonio Restaurant where we enjoyed a variety of Peruvian foods. Check out the video of this amazing restaurant.
In the afternoon we visited San Ignacio de Loyola University. Visit their facilities with the opportunity to see the school and talk with the staff about a variety of issues including the higher education system in Peru, what type of elementary and secondary science curricula and instructional materials do teachers use and do they have national or regional mandated standards, what type of professional development opportunities do practicing science teachers have, and what are the requirements for professional development and how do the universities prepare elementary and secondary teachers to teach science.
The San Ignacio de Loyola Educational Organization has over 40 years of experience in the field of education, specializing in all levels of teaching, from early childhood education at Colegio San Ignacio de Recalde through graduate studies at the USIL Graduate School. In addition, it has excellent strategic alliances, both nationally and internationally, in addition to a number of exchange programs that enable our students to be educated as innate entrepreneurial leaders and the driving force behind our country's sustainable development.
