Incidencia del conflicto armado en la educación rural en Colombia

Abstract

Colombia has been mired in violence and war for more than fifty years, directly and indirectly affecting the entire population of Colombian territory; However, the rural area is one of those that has had the greatest implications; there the conflict is forged and takes place in the manner of confrontations, displacements, kidnapping and death, resulting in complex realities loaded with fear. Rural education is inscribed in this context as a collateral effect of the conflict, being affected from a variety of factors: deteriorated infrastructure, forced recruitment, teacher training, student attendance, among many others, thus violating the fundamental right of education and, above all, of life.

This article presents a bibliographic review of the above, namely, the incidence of the armed conflict in rural education in Colombia. Its main objective is to identify the relationship between the variables of armed conflict from a socio-political perspective and rural education, thus generating a thread of causality and understanding between them, chronologically analyzing events that decisively marked the course of the country's history and subsequently interpreting them to the light of the reality of the rural school.
