Iraq vs Peru
Side-by-side comparison of how these places approach childhood.
Iraq
Iraqi children in the Kurdistan region learn in three languages simultaneously.
Kurdish, Arabic, and English instruction creates trilingual children navigating multiple cultural identities.
Peru
Peruvian children in the Andes attend school at altitudes above 4,000 meters.
Highland children study at elevations higher than most European mountains, walking mountain trails to reach classrooms where temperatures drop below freezing.
Iraq
Iraq's 6-3-3 system is recovering from decades of conflict. The Kurdistan Region operates a semi-autonomous system. Many schools run double or triple shifts to accommodate students. Over 8,000 schools need rehabilitation.
Peru
Peru follows a 6-5-2 system. Spanish is the primary language, with intercultural bilingual education in Quechua, Aymara, and Amazonian languages. Education is free and compulsory from ages 3 to 16. The Qali Warma school feeding program reaches millions.
