11.11.2001 Kun ensimmäiset kuusi tietokonetta asennettiin hiljan Huacrapuquion yläasteelle Perun vuoristoseudulla, koulun 83 oppilasta tuskin uskalsivat koskea niihin. Huacrapuquion ja muiden Andeilla sijaitsevien maaseutukeskusten asukkaat ovat valtaosin intiaaneja. Moni aikuinen on kokonaan tai osittain lukutaidoton. Nyt heidän lapsensa ovat loikkaamassa tietokoneiden aikaan, jos kunnianhimoinen suunnitelma toisen asteen koulutuksen uudistamisesta toteutuu. Huascaran-suunnitelmaksi kutsuttu hanke on päätetty aloittaa alkuperäisväestön parissa. YK:n kasvatus-, tiede- ja kulttuurijärjestön selvitykset kertovat, että intiaanilasten oppimistulokset jäävät nykyopetuksella usein heikoiksi.

08.11.2001 Els indígenes camperols del Perú ingressaran a l'era cibernètica a través dels seus fills gràcies al Plan Huascarán que promou l'ús massiu d'Internet a l'ensenyança pública obligatòria. La població rural del districte de Huacrapuquio ha estat elegida pel Govern peruà per començar a posar en pràctica aquest ambiciós programa que pretén utilitzar la informàtica per millorar el rendiment dels estudiants. Durant els quatre anys vinents s'espera incorporar anualment al programa més de 400 escoles rurals fins aconseguir en un futur que tot el sistema educatiu accedeixi a les tecnologies de la informació. Actualment, el Perú figura en els últims llocs de l'Amèrica Llatina en l'ús d'ordinadors, amb 13 equips per cada mil habitants i presenta, segons la Unesco, un dels índexs més baixos de l'Amèrica del Sud en rendiment escolar, especialment a l'àrea rural.
