Educational legislations of Colombia and mexico:

The Educational System in Colmbia understands the formal education that is imparted in periods and it drives to the obtaining of academic degrees, and the non formal education that is imparted without subjection to periods of regulated sequence and it doesn't drive to any grade.
The formal education understands the following progressive levels:
- Education preescolar
- Basic education (primary and secondary)
- Half education
- Superior education
The education preescolar refers to children smaller than 6 years of age and it will be obligatory, minimum in one year (5 year-old age).

The system in Mexico offers the educational service in two big modalities: escolar and open. The escolar service is dedicated to provide education by means of the attention to students' groups that converge daily to an educational center of agreement with the official educational calendar. The service non escolar is dedicated to provide the opportunity to continue or to conclude its education to the students that cannot incorporate to the services. This education is imparted through pedagogic consultantships, without the students have to converge daily to a school. The students are held to a series of exams to certify the advance in the execution of the program.

The system is compound for six educational levels:

• The initial education
• The education preescolar
• The primary education
• The secondary education
• The half superior level
• The superior education
