Al menos 35 colegios privados dejarán de operar en el 2026 por falta de estudiantes matriculados en Bogotá
En Bogotá, decenas de colegios han tenido que cerrar sus puertas por la baja en el número de matrículas, un fenómeno que afecta al sector educativo privado y se explica en la caída de la tasa de natalidad y la deserción de estudiantes.
TL;DR
- Dozens of private schools in Bogotá are closing due to low enrollment numbers.
- Factors contributing to closures include a falling birth rate and student desertion.
- The rise of homeschooling models, which may circumvent academic obligations, is also a concern.
- Some families are moving students to public schools due to financial problems.
- The number of private schools registered in Bogotá has decreased from 1,570 in 2022 to 1,317 in 2025.
- Schools closing must inform parents six months in advance and ensure academic continuity for students.
