UGEL Huaraz

What UGEL Huaraz does

UGEL Huaraz (Unidad de Gestión Educativa Local Huaraz) is a decentralized administrative unit of the Peruvian Ministry of Education (MINEDU) that manages public education services across the Huaraz province of the Áncash region. Founded circa 2002 and led by Director Dr. Daniel Ángel Almeyda Medina, the entity serves more than 43,000–70,000 students annually across initial, primary, secondary, alternative basic (CEBA), and technical (CETPRO) education levels, covering districts such as Independencia, Pira, Olleros, Jangas, Taricá, and Pariacoto. It is structured around five functional areas — Pedagogical Management, Administrative Management, Institutional Management, Legal Advisory, and Internal Control — supported by approximately 140 staff.

The organization delivers administrative and pedagogical services rather than commercial products. Core offerings include teacher contracting and adjudication under the Carrera Pública Magisterial, pedagogical monitoring and accompaniment including the MIA 5C learning assessment, school safety strategies such as "Nuestra Policía en tu Cole" and TOECE violence prevention, the Hospital Education Service (SEHO "Enciende un Sueño") for hospitalized students at Víctor Ramos Guardia Hospital, coordination of national competitions (Eureka, ONEM, JFEN, JEDPA), disaster risk management under PREVAED, distribution of educational materials, vocational guidance fairs with UNASAM, and school feeding coordination with Qali Warma. Digital administrative infrastructure comprises the Mesa de Partes Virtual powered by CHASKIQ, a virtual complaints book, and access to national systems such as SIAGIE.

As a unidad ejecutora of the Peruvian state, UGEL Huaraz is financed entirely through public treasury allocations under MINEDU oversight and regional supervision by the Dirección Regional de Educación de Áncash (DREA). It generates no commercial revenue; its go-to-market is direct institutional supervision through its area structure, serving a multi-stakeholder ecosystem that includes schools, teachers, students, parents, police, health services, municipal governments, and civil society partners such as Rotary Club Independencia.
