Abstract

Esta investigación evalúa la implementación de un programa de crédito-beca para estudiantes económicamente desfavorecidos con bajo desempeño académico sobre variables de resultado de la educación superior. Utilizando un diseño de regresión discontinua con datos de egresados de grado 11 entre 2015 y 2019 en uno de los departamentos más poblados de Colombia, se identificó un aumento significativo del 82% en la matrícula y del 146% en la graduación de universidad, comparado con la media de control. Contrariamente, la deserción de universidad también aumentó en 55% con respecto a la media de control. Estos resultados sugieren la revisión de los componentes del programa y motivan a una reflexión sobre las políticas de financiamiento educativo para reducir disparidades. Los hallazgos recalcan la necesidad de apoyar no solo la matrícula sino también el sustento de los estudiantes para disminuir la deserción. Asimismo, subraya la importancia de adaptar las políticas públicas a las variadas necesidades de los estudiantes con base en los efectos heterogéneos estimados, fomentando un acceso más equitativo a la educación superior y mejorando la retención y el éxito académico.
