Abstract

This article presents the results of the Project “Analysis of the determinants of the citizens’ perception about education in Colombia” developed by Universidad del Norte from the National Survey of Citizens’ Perception developed by Educación Compromiso de Todos in 2010. The objective of this study is to analyze the main determinants influencing the citizens’ perception concerning education in Colombia. This work starts with an inferential analysis where a better valuation of education in Colombia was evidenced when there is satisfaction with the administration of schools, teachers’ updating, school infrastructure, school food service, the right to education, investment capacity and local management in education, the usefulness of academic tests and when there is a good perception of de socio-economical situation of the country.
