Una ventana de oportunidad para la educación en Colombia

Abstract

“Opening Educational Horizons in Colombia “addresses three key areas: the analysis of educational spending, basic and secondary education, and higher education, concluding with strategic recommendations. Initially, it assesses Colombia's educational expenditure against international standards, highlighting areas for improvement and potential. For basic and secondary education, a comprehensive diagnosis is provided, both nationally and internationally, followed by a prioritization exercise that leads to ten essential recommendations aimed at enhancing the quality and reach of education. The section on higher education reviews the current state, identifies key issues, and evaluates the impact of recent legislation. Throughout, measures are suggested to increase the efficiency of public spending on education, leveraging opportunities from demographic changes and fiscal adjustments to enhance educational quality in Colombia.
