Resumen

- Faced with the problem of educational vulnerability in Peru, where more than 50% of schools have infrastructural deficiencies and 1 in 4 students have experienced school accidents, the research highlights the lack of risk plans in 33% of primary schools and the scarce presence of personnel trained in first aid. Our methodology is based on the use of geographic information systems and statistical programs, using data from the Ministry of Education of Peru and QGIS to interpret filtered and processed information through thematic maps. It is evident that 41.39% of the districts face vulnerabilities in early education, 39.06% in primary and 13% in secondary. There has been a worrying increase in vulnerability, assessed through the student-teacher ratio, from 62.47% to 91.56% in preschool and from 56.85% to 88.2% in primary since 2018. In conclusion, the unequal distribution of vulnerability between rural and urban areas is highlighted, showing that 74.41% of vulnerable schools are located in urban areas. These findings highlight the urgent need to address disparities and develop specific strategies to improve equity and resilience in the Peruvian education system.
