In rural Peru, young people are needed to work at home and they usually have to travel long distances to school and parents see little use in the education received. These facts lead to high drop out rates from school. All this contributes to a cycle of poverty, the lack of jobs and productive opportunities, which could support community development. 

The Fundación Codespa promotes an innovative Alternate Education program recognised by the Peruvian government as a successful learning model for rural areas. The proposed program aims to create permanent interaction between social and professional development and school life in which students alternate between home and school for two-week periods. 

The methodology has been successfully used since 2002, and is now implemented in 40 alternate rural schools (ARS) in 11 Peruvian regions, assisting 2,823 young people.

This project is one of six WISE Award winners in 2014.
