SUNEDU officially (according to University Law No. 30220) is attached to the Ministry of Education with technical, functional, administrative, economic and financial autonomy. Although according to Law 31520 of 2022,[2] the dependency is annulled because the institution was refounded as an autonomous entity with a legal nature of internal public law.[3][4][5]
History
editCreated in 2014 with the promulgation of University Law No. 30220 (Article 12). Replaces the National Assembly of Rectors (ANR). Prior to its creation, it was called the National Superintendency of the Peruvian University (Spanish: Superintendencia Nacional de la Universidad Peruana), established in Chapter III of the aforementioned law.[6]
SUNEDU became (as of January 5, 2015) responsible for licensing to offer the university higher educational service. In addition, SUNEDU assumes the function of managing the National Registry of Degrees and Titles.
