Overview
- Law No. 32581, published Wednesday in the official gazette El Peruano, grants retired and separated teachers a legally guaranteed pension linked to the first magisterial pay scale.
- The benefit matches the Remuneración Íntegra Mensual, the base salary for entry‑level public school teachers, which now stands at S/3,500.70.
- Coverage spans teachers from regular, alternative, special, and technical‑productive education across public and private pension regimes, with media estimating roughly 162,000 beneficiaries.
- The Fiscal Council estimates the measure could cost about S/8,000 million per year, and the Economy Ministry warns it could break public‑system pension caps and pay more than some workers ever contributed.
- Implementation shifts to the Economy and Education ministries, which have 90 calendar days to define payout rules and financing, and teacher unions are pressing for immediate, funded execution.
