Pioneering programs of non formal early childhood education in Peru and its impact on the overcoming of educational inequality of women

Abstract

This document constitutes an update of the original document written for the Regional Meeting organized by UNESCO-OREALC to focus on and consider alternatives related to Women’s Education in Latin America. I was invited to Panama to share with colleagues the perspectives on this matter. Due to having had a direct and pioneering participation in the non-formal education of the programs in Peru and in Latin America, I was selected to share these experiences. At present, I think it is appropriate to carry out 30 years later, an update with a comprehensive verification of PRONOEI impact not only including boys and girls who are the fundamental objective of these programs but mainly all participating actors which are about 99% women. Preliminaries contributions are abridged in Braslavsky (1984).
