Abstract

The main purpose of this reflection is to analyze, on the one hand, everything that has been proposed in terms of public policy to address formal education in rural communities of our country in the last two decades, its relationship and possible effects with the main purposes of education for Latin America, centralized in the axes of quality, access, and efficacy, and on the other hand, to review the relevance of the different flexible educational models (FEM) that have historically been used and have played an important role in the formation of rural communities, although today they are outdated and require rethinking from intercultural, technological and pertinent models.

The final evaluations of the reflection include an analysis of the impact of the national development plans and ten-year education plans of the last decade, their implications and the reality of rural education, the general crisis in the Colombian territory, without which to date It has been possible to solve the great challenges facing the sector, but at the same time, preserve the hope of sustainable development for the countryside, its inhabitants and their training processes, from the proposal of integrated rural reform.
