LEARNING WHAT MATTERS IN PERU WHEN COMMUNITIES ALIGN: SHARED PRIORITIES AND EDUCATIONAL TRANSFORMATION IN PERU Valeria Duarte, Claudia Hui, Modupe Olateju, and Rachel Dyl ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research was made possible thanks to the commitment, trust, and active participation of many people and institutions across San Marcos and Ascope. We are especially grateful to the local advisory committees whose voices and reflections grounded this study in local realities. Their participation ensured ethical and contextual relevance while inspiring deeper questions and co-construction. We also thank the teams from the Local Education Management Units (UGELs) of both provinces, whose support was crucial for this work. To all the students, teachers, families, community leaders, and school principals who shared their stories with generosity: your voices, though anonymous, resonate throughout every section of this report. We acknowledge the contribution of the Enseña Perú team, whose leadership and sustained engagement made this research possible. The process was carried out by a committed team that included Ángela Bravo Chacón, Jose Antonio Alva Bacigalupo, Cinthya Valeria Pinchi Morey, and Ángela Lucía Huamaní Rodríguez, who led this work with clarity, care, and conviction. We give special thanks to the local teams—Deysi Alexandra Varillas Salazar, Loida Franco Cristobal, Joselyn Merly Vásquez Plasencia, Lucy Eliana Vallejos Benites, and Mónica Arizú Herrera Bendezu—for facilitating each step on the ground and nurturing connections with local communities. We also recognize Franco Mosso Cobián for supporting the initial research vision, Aurora Escudero Llontop for accompanying its evolution, and Martín Vegas Torres, who served as the reviewer and whose insights strengthened the final version. Finally, we are grateful to the Center for Universal Education (CUE) at Brookings and the Network for Education Systems Transformation (NEST) for their generous feedback and guidance throughout the process. This research is a testament to what becomes possible when research is understood as a shared and transformative journey. We would also like to acknowledge the contribution of our reviewer Zaynab Gates, 2025 Echidna Global Scholar at the Brookings Institution, whose detailed feedback strengthened the conceptual clarity and methodological rigor of this report. We extend our thanks to Jennifer L. O’Donoghue, senior fellow and deputy director of CUE, for editorial guidance and support during the review process. Brookings gratefully acknowledges the support provided by the LEGO Foundation and recognizes that the value it provides is in its commitment to quality, independence, and impact. Activities supported by its donors reflect this commitment.
