More details of this classification
Many territorial entities of the Caribbean are not appearing in this ranking and it is also a call to learn from the good that these schools are doing.
As explained by the OECC, the decimal values and the number of students evaluated are taken as tiebreaker to place schools in the ‘top 10’ of the best public schools.
For the coordinator of the Observatory, Jorge Valencia, it is very good news from Barranquilla that Humboldt is the best FDI in the country and that the city is the majority with its schools in this ranking.
“Many territorial entities of the Caribbean are not appearing in this ranking and it is also a call to learn from the good that these schools in Barranquilla are doing to start carrying out some processes within them,” the academic told EL TIEMPO.
Another key aspect highlighted by Valencia in this list is that the District’s schools maintained the levels they brought in the official sector. before the pandemicdespite the complexities caused by the absence of face-to-face classes.

Findings in schools that come from less to more
We have identified positive leadership on the part of rectors and coordinators, and a particular concentration of teachers with higher levels of professionalization
“If we look at the Caribbean as a whole, the official sector is on a downward trend. That decline was caused by the pandemic. Something different happened with the private sector: they came from a decline, but when entering the pandemic they were able to reverse the trend in a great way and increase the results, ”said the coordinator.
In addition to the Humboldt, the teacher highlighted the work of the Nueva Granada school, the Jorge Nicolás Abello and the IED Madre Marcelina, as the schools that have progressively come climbing on that result and have been improving since previous years.
“We have identified positive leadership on the part of the rectors and coordinators, and a particular concentration of teachers with higher levels of professionalization and training. In that case, it seems that in these schools where there is transformative leadership and committed teachers, they have been able to give sustained results over time”, Valencia closed.
