Abstract

Bilingual educational inequality in Colombia presents deficiencies around lack of infrastructure, resources, student permanence, among others. Therefore, the objective of this research was to analyze the differences between public and private education based on the results obtained in the Saber 11 tests, created by Colombian Institute for the Evaluation of Education (ICFES) in the area of English, in the last ten years (2010-2020) in Bogota and Medellin. This paper used mixed research as methodology, with a correlational method and a post-positivist paradigm employed in order to detect educational gaps and strategies to enhance bilingual competencies in the two educational sectors. The findings showed that public education has shortcomings in the performance of language skills as opposed to private academies and that the policies of the bilingualism plan policies should develop technological and innovative strategies that contribute to the optimization of the language level.
