Abstract

Este artículo analiza la evolución de la educación primaria y secundaria en Colombia durante el siglo XX desde una perspectiva de largo plazo. Se estudian las principales políticas educativas así como los cambios institucionales y organizacionales que ocurrieron. Se analiza la financiación de la educación, el comportamiento de las principales variables educativas y se examina la evolución de calidad de la educación en el país. Se encontró que la expansión de la educación, tanto primaria como secundaria a lo largo de la primera mitad el siglo XX fue muy lenta. Las transformaciones educativas sólo empezaron a ocurrir en la década de los cincuenta, cuando se presentó un rápido y sostenido crecimiento económico y un cambio signif icativo en la estructura económica y demográfica del país. Desde 1950 y hasta mediados de los setenta, los indicadores educativos crecieron a un ritmo nunca antes visto. Sin embargo, la expansión de los indicadores educativos se freno desde mediados de los setenta y hasta principios de los ochenta, cuando se dio una nueva expansión en los mismos que se mantuvo hasta finales de siglo. A pesar de estos grandes avances durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX, al finalizar los noventa el sector educativo Colombiano seguía presentando bajos niveles de cobertura, eficiencia y calidad así como vaguedad en las competencias y obligaciones en términos administrativos y financieros de los diferentes niveles gubernamentales.
