There were statistically significant differences in the results related to the concept of education (p = 0.05 to 0.00) and to the following items: “Do you consider that investment in public education is enough?” (p = 0.02), “Is education a political model?” (P = 0.03); in aggregate age, “Is access to higher education conceived by the Colombian government with social concern?”, “Does the environment influence the Colombian student’s education development?” (p = 0.02 to 0.00); it was the same case for the interpretive sociology for the item “Are patterns of educational assessment adequate in the country?” (p = 0.04).
