Abstract

Este documento registra la cobertura de los servicios de educación y salud para una muestra de diecinueve municipios del departamento de Santander en el periodo 1997-2005, analizada bajo el efecto de la política de descentralización implementada en Colombia desde comienzos de los anos ochenta. Los resultados más importantes muestran, que los niveles de cobertura para estos dos servicios crecieron de manera importante, siendo la población vulnerable la mayor beneficiada; en términos de calidad, un manejo más eficiente de los recursos por parte de los gobiernos municipales, permitiría mejorar la calidad en la prestación de estos dos servicios. Así mismo, para el período analizado y como resultado de la implementación de Ley 715 de 2001, se observó un avance efectivo en los niveles de cobertura de la salud y de la educación básica, no obstante para esta última, las tasas de deserción escolar registradas.

The most important results show that coverage levels for these two services grew significantly, with vulnerable populations to gain maximum benefit, in terms of quality, more efficient management of resources by local governments, would improve the quality in providing these two services. Likewise, for the period under review and as a result of the implementation of Act 715 of 2001, there was a great advance in levels of health coverage and basic education, however for the latter, the dropout rates registered.
