Colombia's elected president, Abelardo de la Espriella, has announced a national census designed to identify educational institutions that have been abandoned or are failing to serve their communities.
The initiative marks a significant step in his administration's early policy agenda, focusing on structural reforms in the education sector.
De la Espriella emphasized the need to strengthen the collaboration between the state and the private sector.

He stated that this public-private cohesion is essential to creating more opportunities for children, girls, and young people across the country.
The census will serve as a diagnostic tool to pinpoint where resources and interventions are most urgently needed.
The move comes as part of a broader effort to address educational disparities and ensure that no student is left behind due to institutional neglect.
