Colombia shifted its tertiary education policy, implementing
comprehensive reforms to improve equity of tertiary
education. The result of this shift has been impressive:
enrollment in tertiary education increased by 30 percent in
the last 3 years. The project has contributed to improved
access to tertiary education for the poor through three
direct outcomes: 1) the availability of student loans for
low-income students was markedly improved by the project; 2)
the support to doctoral programs has dramatically increased
the number of Colombian doctoral students and programs; and
3) the institutional capacity of the Ministry of Education
has increased substantially. |
