    Evaluación de impacto a la estrategia "Computadores futuro" en la tasa de reprobación de estudiantes de instituciones educativas oficiales de Medellín beneficiados con un computador en 2022
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Martínez Puerta, Jhon Esteban; Puerta Álvarez, Henry Daniel
    "Computadores Futuro” is a program by the Medellín City Hall aimed at enhancing educational persistence by providing technological devices to students from official educational institutions in Medellín. The goal is to equip them with relevant skills for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The primary research question was: What is the impact of the “Computadores Futuro” policy on the failure rate of Medellín students during the year 2022? Using the Propensity Score Matching methodology, the impact of this policy was assessed under four different sample restrictions. The findings indicate that, across all considered models, the policy effectively contributed to a reduction in failure rates, with observed effects ranging between 1.3% and 3.8%, depending on the specific characteristics of each sample restriction. That is, students who received a computer in 2022 exhibited up to a 3.8% reduction in the likelihood of failing compared to the hypothetical situation of not having received such computing equipment. It's important to note that, across all models, the observed impact was statistically significant at the 1% level, confirming the effect of the intervention concerning the repetition rate of the benefited students. An additional and relevant finding is the relationship between connectivity and academic performance. In Model 3, it was observed that having internet access reduces the probability of failure; similarly, in Model 4, lacking connectivity increases this probability, underscoring the importance of connectivity in students' academic outcomes.
