Colombia School Enrollment Projected to Drop 3.1M by 2050 on Birth Decline

Colombia's education system faces a projected 3.1 million fewer students by 2050 due to sustained low birth rates and demographic transition. This structural shift will likely force school closures, teacher layoffs, and budget reallocation, with implications for long-term human capital and fiscal planning. The projection is based on official demographic trends, though exact timing and regional impact remain uncertain.
