Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Legal and Regulatory Matters | Legal and Regulatory Matters Laureate is subject to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In management’s opinion, we have adequate legal defenses, insurance coverage, and/or accrued liabilities with respect to the eventuality of these actions. Management believes that any settlement would not have a material impact on Laureate’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Our institutions are subject to uncertain and varying laws and regulations, and any changes to these laws or regulations or their application to us may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the laws and regulations affecting our higher education institutions that are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Peru Regulation Superintendencia Nacional de Educación Superior Universitaria (“SUNEDU”), the regulatory agency that supervises university standards and quality in Peru, is currently reviewing all regulations applicable to universities, with new regulations expected to be announced during 2023. This follows the appointment of new members to the board of SUNEDU in the first quarter of 2023 in connection with the implementation of the July 2022 law that modified SUNEDU’s board representation and authority. On March 30, 2023, Cibertec, the Company’s technical-vocational institute, was granted a higher education colleges license for a six-year period. This license will now allow Cibertec to offer four-year programs for professional bachelor degrees.
