Abstract

The aim of this research was to analyze the socioeconomic characteristics and educational achievement of elementary school students in Colombia for the year 2017. For this purpose, we describe the educational achievement of the students, along with some of the conditions of the individual, their family, and their educational institution context. This analysis is relevant, given that inequalities in educational opportunities have an impact on the quality of life of students, and among other things, they condition their level of income and well-being in adult life. Thus, the results showed that circumstances beyond the students' control, such as their socioeconomic status, were associated with their academic performance. Likewise, unfavorable individual, family, and school environments were associated with lower educational achievement. Therefore, this study contributes to show that the educational system reproduces educational and social inequalities in Colombia from the very beginning, starting primary school.
