Abstract

La calidad de la educación es uno de los principales determinantes del crecimiento económico y el desarrollo. El objetivo fundamental delpresente documento es evaluar si la doble jornada escolar tiene efectos negativos sobre la calidad de la educación en Colombia. Para estose estima el efecto local promedio del tratamiento a partir de regresiones con variables instrumentales. Los resultados son consistentescon la evidencia internacional: estudiar en jornada completa tiene un impacto positivo sobre los resultados académicos, especialmentecuando se compara con los estudiantes de la jornada de la tarde. Además, se aproximan los costos fijos de la implementación de unajornada diurna única en Colombia. Se trata sin duda de una suma considerable, pero alcanzable, sobre todo si se compara con el presupuestode inversión de otras áreas. Abstract: Quality of education is one of the most important determinants of economic growth and development. The main purpose of this paperis to evaluate if double-shift schooling has a negative effect on the quality of education in Colombia. Instrumental variables regressionsare used to estimate the local average treatment effects. Results are consistent with international evidence: Attending single-shiftschools has a positive impact on academic performance, particularly if compared to students attending the afternoon shift. The fixedcosts of implementing a single-shift school system in Colombia are also estimated. Without any doubt, it is a very big investment, yetreachable, especially when compared to the public expenditures on other areas.
