This paper evaluates if software students in higher education accomplish the goal established in 2010 by the Colombian Ministry of National Education (MEN for its initials in Spanish). The goal of the Program for Strengthening Skills Development in Foreign Languages (PFDCLE for its initials in Spanish) was that by 2014 the 20% of college graduates should achieved an intermediate level or above in English. According to the PFDCLE the goal would be measure using the universal-exit exam known as SABERPRO. We use the SABERPRO database to assess the fulfillment of the goal in the software undergraduate programs. Tests results are presented at the national level, by the five major cities (Barranquilla, Bogota D.C, Bucaramanga, Cali and Medellin) and by programs. Our results show that the target was not met at national level neither at city level, except Cali. Only two of the eleven programs from the software sector reached the goal: Multimedia Engineering and Informatics Administration.
