Sumario:This research analyzes the efficiency of 24 departments of Colombia in the use of their resources to achieve the objective of the national educational programs, during the 2007-2018 period. The efficiency assessment was carried out through the Data Envelope Analysis (DEA), designing three models oriented to output and structured with variable returns to scale. The results of the three shows that only the departments of Bogota D.C., Antioquia, and Quindio efficiently used their teaching staff and educational facilities to increase literacy, enrollment, and urban-rural equity. Therefore, it is advisable to develop public policies aimed at strengthening the education sector, and thus contribute to the well-being of society.
