Rol de la Administración Municipal Frente a la Cobertura en Educación Básica Primaria a los Migrantes Venezolanos en la Ciudad de Bucaramanga Período 2021 - 2023

Abstract

This document consisted of identifying the role of the municipal administration in primary education coverage for Venezuelan migrants in Bucaramanga during the period 2021 - 2023. The research was qualitative and descriptive, where different sources were analyzed such as databases of the Ministry of National Education, Bucaramanga Secretary of Education, SIMAT Integrated Enrollment System, management reports of the Bucaramanga Municipal Mayor's Office, among others, which were used to diagnose the situation of Venezuelan migrants and their access to primary education. Relevant statistics were found and the different strategies, plans, projects and programs implemented by the Municipal Administration of Bucaramanga to facilitate the access of this population to the Colombian educational system between 2021 and 2023 were known. The results showed an increase of 20.31% in educational coverage for this population in the years 2022 and 2023, however, despite the strategies used by the Bucaramanga Municipal Government, desertion continues to be a problem due to economic difficulties and the irregular situation of many Venezuelan families, for which recommendations were made to the Municipal Government to improve this process and guarantee the permanence of migrants in the educational system.
