How Romero Virtual Campus Ignited a Million Dreams with Open edX

The Silent Struggle

Imagine a young Peruvian entrepreneur, Maria, her eyes filled with dreams but her path blocked by limited access to quality education. In a country where opportunity often feels distant, Maria’s story echoes the silent struggle of thousands. The Romero Foundation, a beacon of hope since 1982, understood this struggle. They weren’t just building an online campus; they were building bridges to a brighter future through several initiatives, including the Entrepreneurs Portal, PQS.pe, and the “Para Quitarse el Sombrero” entrepreneurship prize, fostering entrepreneurship and creating educational resources.

A Leap of Faith, A Partner in Growth

In 2014, the Foundation embarked on a bold mission: to empower Peruvians through accessible, entrepreneurial education. With a leap of faith, they chose Open edX®, a platform then largely unknown in Latin America. A leap like this requires partnership. Edunext stepped in, not just as a service provider, but as a collaborator. They translated the platform, built the infrastructure, and shared the Foundation’s vision.

CAMPUS ROMERO and Open edX®

From Hundreds to a Million: A Movement Takes Shape

Starting with a few hundred users in 2015, the platform reached a staggering 1 million users by 2020, offering over 200 courses and 30 specialization programs. This wasn’t just growth; it was a movement. Romero Virtual Campus stands as one of the largest virtual campuses in Latin America. Edunext ensured high availability and solid performance.

Education as a Lifeline

The Pandemic Pivot

When COVID-19 struck, Romero Virtual Campus became a lifeline. Partnering with the Peruvian government, they offered 200,000 scholarships, turning a crisis into an opportunity. Imagine Maria, now able to access vital entrepreneurial skills, her future rewritten. Edunext’s scalable Open edX® architecture handled the surge in traffic seamlessly, ensuring no learner was left behind.
