This document uses the Phillips and Sul (2007, 2009) test to assess the hypothesis of convergence on educational achievement of public and private schools, at the municipal level, for the period 1980-2014.Even though the normativity and provision of public education is homogeneous across the country, and despite the efforts of the administrative and fiscal decentralization process to compensate regional differences, we find that the educational attainment of the municipalities do not show evidence of global convergence.However, we find the existence of six convergence clubs.The first two clubs, which include the municipalities with the best performance, are disproportionately represented by private education in municipalities located in the major metropolitan areas, while the latter three clubs are composed primarily for public education in municipalities located on the Pacific coast and in the Caribbean region.Our results expose the need to implement national reforms to decentralize not only spending, but also create mechanisms to improve productivity in the provision of education services of the different municipalities and regions.
