Despite initial hopes for fully in-person classes by the second half of the year, results never panned out, and his administration was hampered by an ongoing corruption investigation that ultimately culminated in the presentation of charges and his resignation on 12 November 2021.

Graduating with a degree in social studies, he began his career in 1992, working as a teacher at the José Ballivian de Viacha, Santo Domingo, and Gualberto Villarroel schools.

[8] In mid-November, Quelca announced the ministry's intention to return schools to face-to-face learning after the previous administration suspended them in March due to coronavirus concerns.

[10] The convention agreed to the "semi-present" system for the 2021 quarter, with in-person schools being complemented by radio and tele-education as well as the use of virtual platforms "depending on the sanitary conditions ... corresponding to each context".

[11] Despite initial cooperation, the Urban Magisterium Federation broke dialogue with the Ministry of Education on 19 January 2021 due to the lack of progress on their demand for a larger budget.

The document alleged that Quelca had instructed Tarifa to favor certain people of the Communist Party and hinder other applicants, pointing to leaked WhatsApp messages as evidence.

[18] Despite denying the accusations as "slander", Quelca nonetheless presented his resignation on the same day, claiming that he had done so in "clear conscience" in order to avoid negative attention being drawn to the government.

The complaint alleged that Pary had not met the teaching tenure requirements to become a member of the Subdirectorate of Higher Education of Tarija, a position he had been in the process of applying to prior to being appointed minister.

[24] In the few hours before his successor was sworn in, Quelca issued Memorandum N° 121808, appointing himself and twelve close associates from the PCB to professorial positions in the higher schools of study.

[27] In response, Balderrama ratified her initial complaint and announced her intention to open a private suit for slander and libel against Quelca and his lawyer, Mary Carrasco.
