Meet Valentina Miranda, a teacher from Peru, who has taught in rural Amazonia and now teaches in the capital city of Lima. She shares her experiences teaching in rural areas and the challenges faced by educators and students alike. She discusses the cultural diversity of her students, the impact of malnutrition on learning, and the significant differences between rural and urban education. 

She also juxtaposes the rural education experience with that of more fortunate private school students in Lima, Peru’s capital city.

Valentina emphasizes the importance of language and access to nutrition, safety and technology in education, as well as the need for empathy and support for students.
