The renowned businessman and founder of the Association of Businessmen for Education, José Miguel Morales Dasso, died at the age of 78.
His life was linked to various sectors, but the lawyer from the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru began at the age of 24 in Minas Buenaventura, where he was legal advisor and member of the board of directors.
He held the presidency of the National Mining, Petroleum and Energy Society (2001 – 2024), but before that, between 1986 and 1989, he presided over the Mining and Petroleum Law Institute.
He was also president of Confiep in the period 2005-2007 and in 2011 he received the decoration of the Magisterial Palms in the degree of Amauta.

Another recognition he received was in 2013 with the IPAE Award for contributing to the improvement of national public education, especially in rural areas. The institute at the time highlighted its “clear vision of sustainability and real example of social inclusion.”
Precisely regarding his work in education, the former president of Confiep, Roque Benavides, highlighted that “he always cared about the most humble people.”
“He was an illustrious lawyer who dedicated much of his time to contributing to the development of the country,” he assured this newspaper, and described him as a “multifaceted man,” since he ventured as a tangerine and avocado farmer in Chincha. In addition, he liked gaited horses, and was “a wonderful husband and family father.”
Through this publication, Perú21 sends condolences to the family and remembers one of his phrases: “If you don’t raise people’s education, you will be left without any progress.”
