Self-esteem and cultural identity can enhance intercultural teaching and the personal development of future teachers. In this sense, the objective was to determine the relationship between cultural identity and self-esteem in students of Public Pedagogical Higher Education Institutes (IESPP) in southern Peru, with training in Bilingual Intercultural Education. Using a quantitative correlational design, cultural identity was measured using an adapted scale from Canales (2016), and self-esteem was assessed with the Rosenberg Test. The results showed that self-esteem ranged from 31% to 40%, indicating medium and high levels. In contrast, cultural identity remained high, reaching 83.4%. These findings suggest a low positive relationship between self-esteem and cultural identity in this student group. Consequently, a more detailed analysis and consideration of other possible factors are required to fully understand this relationship.
