Abstract

Este estudio examina el impacto del programa de mérito Ser Pilo Paga, un crédito-beca para estudiantes con necesidades socioeconómicas; en él, se evalúa el acceso a etapas avanzadas de estudiantes rurales colombianos en la educación superior. Mediante un diseño de regresión discontinua, se utiliza como proxy la presentación del examen Saber Pro y se estima el efecto causal del programa utilizando datos de 214.423 egresados rurales de grado 11 en los años 2014 y 2015. Los resultados revelan que Ser Pilo Paga aumentó la probabilidad de acceso a etapas avanzadas en 33,65 puntos porcentuales (82%) en 2014 y en 15,10 puntos porcentuales (33,5%) en 2015, en comparación con el grupo de control. A su vez, se estimó el efecto agrupando los años donde los resultados son un aumento de 20,89 puntos porcentuales (48,6%). Estos hallazgos sugieren que un programa de mérito tiene un impacto considerable en la reducción de las desigualdades educativas para los estudiantes rurales, evidenciando que es una herramienta efectiva para mejorar la equidad educativa en contextos de alta vulnerabilidad.
