More than 10,000 adolescents between the ages of 14 and 18 are involved in the juvenile justice system in Colombia (Sistema de Responsabilidad Penal Adolescente). The law establishes that adolescents must have access to education within the juvenile system, whether they are serving custodial or non-custodial sentences. Despite the existence of clear regulations on how the right to education should be implemented within the juvenile system, the educational needs of these adolescents remain overlooked. Available educational data is nearly nonexistent, and government reports only reveal low retention and high rates of school dropout. We know almost nothing about the learning experiences of these young people.
