The perception of the quality of education in some private schools in Bogotá

Abstract

This text addresses the concept of quality in education by reflecting on its perception within the educational process of young people, through assessments by students, parents, teachers, administrators, graduates, and the surrounding community. Several private schools in Bogotá participated voluntarily in this study. The objective of the study, and the resulting ranking, was to highlight the factors with the greatest impact on the quality perceived by the participants, leading to proposed improvements in educational processes both inside and outside the classroom. The methodology used for this assessment was a ranking system (Rk.co), with a model adapted to the characteristics of primary and secondary education, guided by the experience and achievements of the National Accreditation Council (CNA) in its accreditation model for higher education institutions. The final result allowed for the formulation of guidelines for strengthening quality in primary and secondary education, which can also serve as a guide for improvement in other institutions, both private and public, encouraging continuous improvement processes.
