Self-Realization and Self-Control Society: Colombian Higher Education System

Abstract

The article analyzes the elements defined in Colombia as relevant to evaluate higher education (HE) quality. Using a literature review as the main source of information, this article reveals the way in which the HE system is a vehicle for a society of self-control and self-realization. Likewise, the implications for different actors involved in the HE system are discussed and the question of whether the interests of governments, institutions, and students are actually being served is posited.
