Abstract

Luego de 15 anos de ofrecer colegios operados por privados como una opción alternativa de educación pública en Bogotá, Colombia, actualmente se discute sobre la conveniencia de mantener este modelo de gestión. Mediante el emparejamiento por puntaje de propensión, se estimó la diferencia en el efecto promedio de los resultados del Saber 11° al terminar en un colegio en concesión en 2013. En promedio, en una muestra de 251 colegios, un estudiante concesionado se ubicaría hasta 57 puestos mejor que su par de un colegio público tradicional. Así, se evidencia que este modelo educativo influye positivamente sobre el logro académico, al tiempo que atenúa los efectos negativos de contextos socioeconómicos vulnerables.
