Analysis of Vulnerability in Emergency Situations in Kindergarten and Primary School Education Centers in Peru

The people who require greater protection and safety are children, mainly when they are in an educational center, where teachers are responsible for their care, therefore, it is important to have prepared teachers to face emergency situations, since, the sense of insecurity is greater in national schools due to the shortage of prepared teachers to handle emergencies situations in Peru; there are studies which mention that 98.2% of accidents in educational centers are trauma and falls, also 1 of every 4 students suffers a fracture, therefore, in this study, spatial data of kindergarten and primary education is presented from Peru, relating the number of students per teacher for the year 2019. The regions whose student-teacher relationship is risky for the welfare of the students are presented and analyzed by georeference, this data is public and is provided by the Ministerio de Educación de Perú (MINEDU), and using tools from the Geographic Information System (GIS), and it was possible to generate maps at the district level. Observing at the maps, it was possible to identify that the areas with the greatest risk are in the natural region of the jungle. Base on the spatial distribution of vulnerable points and outliers of the student-teacher relationship at the levels of kindergarten and primary education, it is recommended that governmental and non-governmental institutions in Peru allocate resources urgently to reduce student vulnerability, reducing the relationship between the number of students and teachers, in order to get better the response to any accident or natural disaster.
