The Case of the Colegio Diego Thomson in Arequipa, Peru. This book explores the connection between management, education, and development. It is a case study focusing on the Colegio Diego Thomson, which is a school offering kindergarten, primary, and secondary education in the municipality of Alto Selva Alegre, a very poor district in the outskirts of Arequipa, Peru. The school is owned by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Peru (IEL-P) and is operated in cooperation with the Peruvian state. Such a dual partnership may offer challenges to the parties involved, but might also generate synergetic effects towards quality education and development. In this case, the school has made some remarkable achievements in spite of very scarce resources. The book discusses whether these efforts will be sufficient to bring on economic, social, and cultural development in the area.
