Therefore, Colombia sends over 50,000 bachelor, graduate and short course students abroad each year. Levels of English proficiency have gone up significantly over the past decade.

Supported by Colombia’s main scholarship provider

The education fairs in Colombia are being supported by Colfuturo, the Colombian funding body. This organization plays a fundamental role in assisting thousands of students to pursue overseas studies. They exhibit in this event and actively support it. They meet directly with students, present seminars and support their future ambitions once they decide on their course and institution.
