Education in Colombia

Education in Colombia includes nursery school, elementary school, high school, technical instruction and university education.

The Human Rights Measurement Initiative (HRMI) finds that Colombia is fulfilling only 80.5% of what it should be fulfilling for the right to education based on the country's level of income. HRMI breaks down the right to education by looking at the rights to both primary education and secondary education. While taking into consideration Colombia's income level, the nation is achieving 82.1% of what should be possible based on its resources (income) for primary education but only 78.9% for secondary education.
