A remarkable academic achievement has been recorded in Peru, with 102 students from the Juan Pablo Peregrino school in Carabayllo gaining admission to the National University of Callao (UNAC). This success represents a significant milestone for the Lima Norte educational institution, as these students constitute approximately 10% of the 1,058 vacancies offered in the university's ordinary admission process.

Adding to the impressive feat, 15 of the admitted students secured top positions across a range of demanding fields. These include Economics, Industrial Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Food Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Administration, Accounting, and Fisheries Engineering. Notably, 16-year-olds Luana Flores Espinoza and Angello Corasma Nolasco claimed the first places in Economics and Industrial Engineering, respectively.

The school's director, Yamiry Julca Sรกnchez, attributed this mass admission to the collaborative efforts of teachers, students, and parents, alongside the institution's focus on emotional support. She highlighted the dedication of teachers in motivating students and the presence of psychologists at each educational level to foster emotional development. The school also provides free afternoon tutoring and academic reinforcement to ensure students successfully complete their school year.

We have excellent teachers who motivate students daily to take on new challenges thinking about their future. Additionally, we have psychologists at each educational level because emotional support is fundamental for the development of children and adolescents. We also offer free afternoon tutoring and academic reinforcement so that everyone successfully completes the school year.
