INSTITUTO PERUANO DE FOMENTO EDUCATIO : EVALUATION REPORT, 1962-1974

IPFE'S EFFORTS HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS, VARIED AND EXTENSIVE, AND IT HAS DEVELOPED AN EXCELLENT REPUTATION. ALTHOUGH IN ABSOLUTE TERMS AND ON A NATIONAL SCALE ITS ACTIONS MAY APPEAR LIMITED, IN RELATIVE TERMS AND IN EFFECTIVENESS, THEY ARE VERY SIGNIFICANT AND STRATEGIC. IN THE AREA OF IPFE'S EDUCATIONAL EFFORT, STRESS SHOULD BE GIVEN TO DEVELOPING STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS, EDUCATIONAL LOANS, CONTRIBUTIONS TOWARD RETRAINING OF PERSONNEL, PROVISION OF CONSULTANTS, SPONSORING OF MEETINGS, LAUNCHING OF INNOVATIVE PROJECTS, EXPERIMENTAL PROJECTS, AND THE PRODUCTION OF SERVICES AND GOODS. WITH REGARD TO IPFE'S ROLE IN IMPLEMENTATION OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR OUTSIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, IPFE HAS SERVED WELL THROUGH A VARIETY OF CONTRACTS AND WITH A HIGH DEGREE OF SUCCESS. IPFE'S WORKING RELATIONS WITH THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION AND THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF THE PERUVIAN UNIVERSITIES,AS WELL AS WITH ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES, AND OTHER ENTITIES, ARE COOPERATIVE AND PRODUCTIVE.
