Location: Throughout Colombia
In a
unique alliance, the Genesis Foundation, in cooperation with Fundación Corona,
Fundación Promigas, Fundación Carvajal and Fundación Luker agreed upon the need
to develop a complementary tool to those indicators already used in Colombia
for assessing the quality of primary and middle school education. The purpose
of this instrument will be to guarantee that those efforts already in progress
to improve the quality of education in Colombia are measurable and can be
compared year by year.
The
members of the alliance chose to contract Corpoeducacón, the Center for
Research and Development for Education to design and implement the pilot of an
instrument that seeks not only to measure, but also to report on those factors
associated with the quality of the educational process. This instrument
is intended not only to serve as a compliment to the national exams, ICFES and
Saber, but in turn, to be useful in the pursuit of improving educational
services offered to children in the entire country.
The
Genesis Foundation strongly believes in the importance of quality education
that is equitable and available to all children of Colombia, independent of
their socio-economic contexts.
