BALLESTEROS-ALFONSO, Alba Lorena  y  GOMEZ-VELASCO, Nubia Yaneth. Inequality in the results of Saber-11 Tests before and during the COVID-19 pandemic (2014 - 2021). Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.3, pp.46-68.  Epub 17-Nov-2022. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/rlcsnj.20.3.5189.

The authors conducted a descriptive analysis of inequality in the results of the standardized Saber-11 tests for students conducted in the period 2014-2021 in the department of Boyacá, Colombia and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on these results. The results were analyzed in accordance with areas of knowledge and students’ socioeconomic level. This research was carried out using data from the Saber-11 tests that was obtained from the Instituto Colombiano para la Evaluación de la Educación website. It was observed that in Boyacá, the best academic results were obtained by students from private schools and those from the middle and upper classes (Strata 3, 4 and 5). An in-crease in the education gap in Boyacá during the COVID-19 pandemic was evidenced by the authors as a result of inequalities with access to education and connectivity problems in the state.
