  • High school education appears to be a key variable for the economic prosperity of Bogotá. However, the lack of consideration of quality as a necessary standard for education in the city threatens its potential to positively affect social welfare. One of the main problems emerges from an imprecise conception of education as a public good, condensed in its public policy planning. Therefore, the appliance of more progressive proposals can be suggested to help combine the virtues of market forces and the state�s regulatory power.
