Education is a universal right. States must guarantee for their citizens a quality education for all without difference of gender, race, social or cultural condition, among others. From education, particularly from formal education, spaces must be created that contribute to this ideal of reducing gaps and making the inclusion of all individuals possible. The evaluation constitutes a curricular element that, according to the vision of those who organize it, can serve this purpose or to exclude. In fact, the results of standardized tests for measuring school success are a risky scenario in terms of the process of homogenization and / or exclusion of the diversity and plurality of the human being. Therefore, this article presents a reflection on the international and national situation in Colombia around standardized tests from an inclusive perspective. A literature review is carried out, pointing out the relationship between the results of standardized tests with regard to the quality of educational education, and finally, recommendations and future guidelines on decision-making and policy implementation are presented.

Keywords : Quality of education; evaluation; standardization; formative evaluation; Right to education.
