Education is the most important factor
in the development of a country. Besides providing knowledge, education and
culture, education enriches the spirit, values and everything that defines us
as human beings. Education gives the skills and cognitive competences so that
human beings can improve their quality of life and likewise improve levels of
social welfare and economic development of the society. Recognizing the necessity
of a good quality education, the government has determined to establish policies to solve each of the necessary
aspects to improve education in Colombia.
In
recent days, the Minister of Education solved the wage problem that faced with
teachers in Colombia. What they have done is that she increases the disgruntled of society
not only by the policies imposed, but also for the damage they do to the
country and the future of it. Talking about discontent in society in general, it is being
talked about of the main actors within the educational context of the country,
starting with learning providers: our teachers, the people most affected:
students and people who demands a good quality education: parents. Perhaps the
government sees education as a cost and not as an investment. Perhaps the
government has not realized that knowledge constitutes a very productive and strategic
investment to improve the social and economic development of the Country.
But not all policies are bad news. The
President of Colombia Juan Manuel Santos with ICETEX approved a student loan
system that will offer five types of financing, including those who do not have
the support of a co-signer may choose to make an additional payment of 2% of
the total registration, to access a guarantee fund covering credits. ICETEX
Formerly covered only 75% of the value of studies at the University. Now this
institute has the modality to provide 100% of full value. The possibility is
for all young Colombians, but also the awarding for that. Student must have at
least 280 or higher on the “Pruebas Saber 11”
There are many benefits that brings the
strengthening of education in Colombia. Education can get to set and level the economic and social inequalities.
Education can also achieve social mobility of people and gives people the
access of higher levels of employment and at the same time it can expand
opportunities for young people. One of the most important benefits of the
Education is the strengthening of the relations of societies; for democratic
development and strengthening the rule of law; for the promotion of science,
technology and innovation. Education contributes to more equitable, productive
and equitable societies. It is a social good that makes freer to humans
