Icfes announced the national results of the Saber 11 tests conducted in the country this year. The figures show a significant improvement in the overall score. However, it is still worrying that serious gaps exist between public and private schools, between rural and urban areas, and even between men and women by gender.
Thus, the national average of 632,640 people evaluated this year was 257 points out of 500. Although it may seem like a low number at first glance, the truth is that the highest national score was 264 in 2016, as the evaluation method was changed in 2014, when the results were comparable.
Considering this, Elizabeth Blandón Bermúdez, director of Icfes, He noted: “The Saber 11 test is essential for us because of the number of population evaluated, we reach every corner of the country, it is an inclusive test where we take into account all ethnicities, all regions, public and private schools participate. Likewise, these state tests help to measure the quality of education in the country “It generates data and for students it represents a fundamental step in their life project and commitment to their future.”
The 2023 results reflect significant improvement in the level of test performance. Scores have dropped from the 2016 ceiling mentioned above until 2021, when the national average is 250. There was a slight improvement (254) last year and the upward trend has been reinforced this year, according to Icfes.
In other words, After years of increasingly poor results, the Saber 11 benchmarks are trending towards better overall performance.
