Since the early 1960s, Colombia education has proliferated rapidly. Owing to the rapid increase in the public disbursements for education in the 1960s, education in Colombia developed rapidly.
According to the statistics, a quarter of expenditure made by the government of Colombia largely included the expenditure done for education. Moreover, the rapid urbanization of Colombia largely fostered the expansion in the educational system of Colombia. The rapid urbanization of Colombia also led to the modifications in the international laws. These laws transferred the financial responsibility of primary education to the central government. In 1975, the responsibility of the secondary education was also shifted to the central government. This transfer in authority largely contributed towards enhancing the prospects of education at Colombia.
According to the statistics of 1996, the total number of students enrolled for higher education in Colombia was 644,188. Moreover, in 2001 the total secondary enrollment within the territory of Colombia is recorded to be about 53.5%.
