Abstract
With the goal of building a more detailed critique regarding the concept and practice of certain cultural categories in Colombia, this study intended to analyze legal, political, institutional and academic on Colombian public education. Culture has played a major role in the public arena of Colombia at the beginning of the century. As a means of development, promoting national culture became the aim to achieve progress. However, much remains to be done in Colombia to get a proper understanding of the approach and the role of culture as an essential element for development. The aim of this paper is to analyze the main views built in the last three decades (legal, political, institutional and academic), this analysis shows that not only have not been consistent but sometimes have been contradictory.
