Tóm tắt

 With the support of the ACCES (Acceso Con Calidad a la Educacion Superior, in Spanish) Project Colombia shifted its tertiary education policy, implementing comprehensive reforms to improve equity of tertiary education. The result of this shift has been impressive: enrollment in tertiary education increased by 30 percent in the last 3 years. The project has contributed to improved access to tertiary education for the poor through three direct outcomes: 1) the availability of student loans for low-income students was markedly improved by the project
  2) the support to doctoral programs has dramatically increased the number of Colombian doctoral students and programs
  and 3) the institutional capacity of the Ministry of Education has increased substantially.
