Objective: to place sociological analyses and the public-private antagonisms in the settings of higher education in Colombia. Methodology: Descriptive study, which provides a new reading to the statistics of higher education compiled by the National Education Ministry, through a heuristic work, which favors the construction of a relational methodology. Findings: The enrollment in private higher education soared during the term 2010-2014, in relation to the prefiguration of a possible depletion of the growth in the public-private coverage model introduced in 2002. There is also an establishment of the prevalence of the private sector in the offer of undergraduate academic programs during the second half of the seventies of the last century. Conclusions: the need of identifying specific university cases to be placed inside a defined issue is confirmed.

Abstract

Objective: to place sociological analyses and the public-private antagonisms in the settings of higher education in Colombia. Methodology: Descriptive study, which provides a new reading to the statistics of higher education compiled by the National Education Ministry, through a heuristic work, which favors the construction of a relational methodology. Findings: The enrollment in private higher education soared during the term 2010-2014, in relation to the prefiguration of a possible depletion of the growth in the public-private coverage model introduced in 2002. There is also an establishment of the prevalence of the private sector in the offer of undergraduate academic programs during the second half of the seventies of the last century. Conclusions: the need of identifying specific university cases to be placed inside a defined issue is confirmed.
