The incidence of forced displacement in the educational level in Colombia

Colombia es un país que por más de 60 años ha sufrido un conflicto armado, lo cual se ha traducido en un elevado número de tragedias humanitarias, entre ellas, el desplazamiento forzado. Según la Agencia de la ONU para los Refugiados en Colombia se registraron oficialmente 5.185.406 personas desplazadas entre los años de 1997 y 2013, donde aproximadamente el 87% corresponde a víctimas del conflicto armado (Agencia de la ONU para los refugiados (ACNUR), 2014). Sin embargo, muy poco se sabe sobre la incidencia del desplazamiento forzado en el nivel educativo de los colombianos. Por lo tanto, el presente documento pretende, en primer lugar, hacer una contribución a la literatura que vincula el desplazamiento forzoso y la educación.Colombia is a country that has been plunged into armed conflict for years and has had to live through the scourge of anachronistic violence, translated into a large number of humanitarian tragedies, including forced displacement in different regions of the country.
