Gestión y calidad educativa en educación técnica superior: estudio en una región altoandina del Perú

The study analyzed the relationship between management and educational quality in higher technical education in a high Andean region of Peru. The variables were analyzed using a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, and correlational approach to determine the relationship between the variables studied. Two instruments were used to collect data, which had been previously validated, and reliability was calculated using Cronbach's alpha test. The sample consisted of 20% of students from the higher technical education institute, who had previously given their informed consent. A high and statistically significant positive correlation was found between both variables (Rho=.687, p<0.001), which was also confirmed by the Chi-square test (x2=56.706; p<0.001). These findings allow us to conclude that management plays a key role in shaping quality educational environments, even in rural and vulnerable contexts. It is recommended to strengthen management capacities at the technical-productive level, promoting contextualized strategies that improve planning, community participation, and pedagogical leadership. Likewise, future research could incorporate mixed methodologies and compare results in different territories of the country.
