Cuantificación de la Inequidad Educativa en América Latina (2000-2015)

Articulo

Summary

The objective of this study is to quantify educational inequality in Latin America in 2000, 2003, 2006, 2009, 2012 and 2015, identify which countries had a better ranking during each period and where each country stands today with regards to that position. The assessment is based on a weighted synthetic index that includes data from the Basic Educational Inequity Index (IIEB-2014) proposed by Formichella (2014), a Household Survey conducted by the Center for Distributive, Labor and Social Studies (CEDLAS) and the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). The index was calculated for the following countries: Argentina, Mexico, Peru, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic. It was concluded that despite a general reduction in educational inequality in most of the countries studied, the current ranking remains unchanged while the level of educational inequality still continues to remain high.
