This article presents the results of measurement of intergenerational educational mobility in urban and rural areas of Colombia. Using transition matrices evidence of intergenerational educational mobility was found in both urban and rural areas of Colombia; however, is more restricted in the case of rural. Indeed, the ability to scale more educational levels is higher for children with more educated parents and is accentuated if they belong to the urban areas of Colombia, which leads to say that educational opportunities in Colombia are limited, not only by conditioning the educational level of the parents, but also for the area to which it belongs.

Palabras clave : education; Colombia; equal opportunities; social mobility.
