Yet little is known in Colombia about the quality of teachers. In this paper we ask about the academic standard of people who study and obtain a tertiary degree in education. Results show a negative relationship between results in the standardized test to enter higher education (Saber 11°) and the probability of studying (and obtaining) a tertiary degree in education (relative to other areas of study). We estimate that this probability is five times higher for people with results among the lowest scores than for people with results among the highest. This difference broadens when we consider only women. The paper discusses some hypotheses that would explain these results
