Resumen
Colombia tiene un déficit de profesionales frente a sus necesidades estratégicas, pero al mismo tiempo el sistema genera excesos en ciertas áreas (sobre todo en el área de economía-administración, contaduría y afines) y déficits aún más marcados que el promedio en otras. La raíz del exceso en el área de las ciencias económicas debe encontrarse, ante todo, en la extensión incontrolada de la enseñanza nocturna por parte de pequeñas universidades privadas, que permite reducirlos costos indirectos de la educación (los salarios no percibidos durante el tiempo de estudio),a la vez que elevar el valor de las matrículas. El resultado es que, a pesar del deterioro de los índices de empleo y de ingresos, la tasa de retorno de la educación no se altera..Es preciso controlar la calidad de las pequeñas universidades privadas, sobre todo en sus programas nocturnos, y apoyar la expansión de las universidades públicas. Pero ello tiene sus precondiciones, Los gremios de profesionales tienen un papel importante qué jugar al respecto.
Abstract
Colombia has a lack of professionals in relation to its strategic needs. At same time the educational system produces abundant professional without some areas (mainly in economics, business and accounting) while in other areasgenerates greater deficits than the average. The mayor reason for this surplus of professionals in economic science has to be found in the uncontrolate extension of evening courses in small private universities. This system allows the reduction of indirect costof education (the forgone wages while studying) and the permanent increase of fees.The result is that despite the fall caused on the salaries and employment figures, the rate of return on education does not -change. It is necessary to control the quality of theprivate universities offering those programs (mainly evening courses) and also (o support the public universities. To do this, it is necessary to create some conditions and the association of professionals must play an important role about it.
