It is a pleasure for us to be in communication with you on this occasion to share with you again a great achievement obtained for our beloved institution AIU.

Recently, during Dr. Jose Mercado's visit to the city of Lima, Peru, he had the opportunity to receive a very important and significant award on behalf of AIU.

On that occasion, the XIV Latin-American Summit hosted by the World Parliament of Education and the Latin-American Council for Quality Education was celebrated.

The summit was held in the Auditorium of the National Assembly of Rectors of Peru ANR and was attended by educators in many countries of Latin-America.

Dr. Jose Mercado had the privilege to receive, on behalf of AIU, the nomination of Parliamentary Minister for the Quality Education by the World Parliament of Education.

The World Parliament of Education stated: It is necessary to pay attention to Education, which is in "intensive care". We should solve all educational situations that afflict society, to achieve an adequate and equitable academic level.

The event was attended by several prestigious institutions, among others, such as:

 • National Assembly of Rectors of Peru
 • Rectors Association of Argentina
 • The Latin American Organization Administration of the Dominican Republic
 • WFUCA -UNESCO • Organization of the American States
 • Latin American Organization Administration

 It's a real honor to receive such recognition because it reflects the enormous effort that each of the members of AIU do every day. That crucial effort contributes to the students to cause a positive impact on the society in which they live.

These achievements belong to all the Educational Family of AIU in the world: Students, Academic Advisors, Counselors, Staff Members, Members of the Academic Council, and Representatives and Tutors of AIU in the world. All of them have definitely contributed to the growth of AIU and its commitment to quality education in the world. Congratulations to all of you.
