PERU: Kuczynski calls on teachers to return to class
Addressing the nation on television this week, President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski called on striking teachers to “listen to parents” and return to their classrooms, but he warned that he would “never, never accept violence and intimidation”.

The education minister, Marilú Martens, was addressing the congressional education commission at the time.
