Abstract
The main objective of this report is to
analyze student learning in Colombia in order to foster
policies to improve education quality that are grounded in
research and the Colombian context. In 2006, Colombia
participated for the first time in the Programme for
International Student Assessment (PISA) of the Organization
for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which
provides an important opportunity to benchmark the quality
and equity of its education system globally and to inform
its education policy. Using the PISA results, this report
calls attention to the need for improved student learning in
Colombia and provides new analytical work on the factors
associated with learning in Colombia and other participant
countries. Based on an assessment of the current state of
the Colombian education system (chapter first), a review of
the relevant literature (chapter second), an analysis of
PISA (chapter third), and the report concludes with a set of
policy options that may inform a future agenda for system
design and reform (chapter fourth).
