Introduction

In Colombia, the ICFES exam is the standard way to measure the quality of secondary education. Five different topics (mathematics, natural sciences, english, language and social science) are tested, and the student is given a normalized global score that allows to rank a person within the whole set of students.

Each year, it is said that these results are influenced by the inequality between regions (departments). Some explanations are related with social factors like the family average income. However, there is no clear understanding of what socioeconomic factors affect truly the performance on the ICFES exam.

For this very reason, we consider it is important that elected officials such as mayors, governors and ministers have a tool to better understand how the performance in ICFES results is affected by socioeconomic factors in order to formulate well-informed policies that have a real impact on Colombian society.
