Abstract: Poco se sabe en Colombia acerca de las competencias acad�micas de los maestros. Este documento investiga sobre el est�ndar acad�mico de las personas que cursan y se grad�an de programas superiores en educaci�n. Los resultados indican que existe una relaci�n inversa entre el desempe�o en la prueba de Estado SABER 11 y la probabilidad de estudiar (y/o graduarse) de un programa en el �rea de educaci�n. Estimamos que esta probabilidad es cinco veces m�s alta cuando se obtuvo un puntaje en las pruebas SABER 11 entre los m�s bajos que cuando se obtuvo un resultado entre los m�s altos. Esta diferencia es a�n mayor para las mujeres. El documento discute algunas hip�tesis que explicar�an estos resultados. ****** Yet little is known in Colombia about the quality of teachers. In this paper we ask about the academic standard of people who obtain a tertiary degree in education. Results show a negative relationship between results in the standarized test to enter higher education (SABER 11) and the probability of studying (and obtaining) a tertiary degree in education (relative to other areas of study). We estimate that this probability is five-times higher for people with results among the lowest scores than for people with results among the highest. This difference broadens when we consider only women. The paper discusses some hypotheses that would explain these results.
