Of these, 58 completed their applications, and currently, 46 of them are preparing to continue their university studies outside of Colombia, with two other students considering a gap year before starting their careers, representing a notable 54%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students have been accepted into prestigious universities in countries such as:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
