Lima, January 13, 2025.- In May 2025, the Private Investment Promotion Agency (PROINVERSIÓN) announced that the project that will allow the construction of a new educational infrastructure for 13 Schools at Risk (CER) located in Metropolitan Lima, which represents an investment of US$ 285 million (excluding VAT), will be declared of interest.
The CER Metropolitan Lima project is a 20-year Cofinanced Unsolicited Proposal (CUP) that includes the design, financing, construction, operation and maintenance of 13 schools that will benefit 22,000 students per year in the districts of Villa El Salvador and San Juan de Miraflores.

This favorable opinion of the concession contract has been possible thanks to the joint work between MINEDU, MEF and PROINVERSIÓN, focused on closing the educational infrastructure gap and thus providing the necessary conditions to guarantee the learning of thousands of students who attend classes in high-risk conditions.
With the favorable opinion, the technical and legal teams of MINEDU and PROINVERSIÓN are finalizing details on the actions to be carried out with the educational community, the municipalities of San Juan de Miraflores and Villa El Salvador and the population in the project's area of influence.
The improvement of 13 educational institutions includes the execution of a temporary relocation plan, construction of new infrastructure (classrooms, laboratories, workshops for work education, sports area, school topic, among others), implementation of equipment and furniture for all educational spaces and environments and the provision of maintenance, cleaning, surveillance and security services during operation, guaranteeing the efficient supply of electricity, drinking water and internet to end users.
