Presentation
This project seeks to analyze the use of information on the ethnic-cultural identity of the population as a useful tool to address problems of poverty and discrimination faced by Afro-Peruvian girls and adolescents. Specifically, its objective is to analyze two dimensions: a) the process of access of Afro-Peruvian adolescents to High Performance Schools (COAR); and, b) the mechanisms of exclusion and discrimination that mark their educational trajectories and their possibilities of meritocratic promotion within the framework of their life projects.
