Resumen
FRANCO, Andrea; GUARIN, Arlen; MEDINA, Carlos y POSSO, Christian M.. National policies and regional achievements: the case of the quality of secondary education in Colombia. Rev.econ.inst. [online]. 2023, vol.25, n.49, pp.27-74. Epub 02-Nov-2023. ISSN 0124-5996. https://doi.org/10.18601/01245996.v25n49.03.
This document uses the Phillips and Sul (2009) test to assess the hypothesis of convergence on educational achievement of public and private schools, at the municipal level, for the period 1980-2014. Even though the normativity and provision of public education is homogeneous across the country, we find that the educational attainment of the municipalities do not show evidence of global convergence. However, we find the existence of six convergence clubs. The first two clubs, which include the municipalities with the best performance, are mainly private institutions in the major metropolitan areas, while the latter three clubs are composed primarily for public institutions located on the Pacific coast and in the Caribbean region.
