population, who could nor pursue higher education studies in the absence of

coast and from the rest of the country. This situation tends to decrease in
recent years due to the increased educational coverage achieved in these
regions.

Today, Barranquilla begins to
regain the momentum and
spirit that characterizes it. Its
growth and progress help
recover the much deserved
title of “The Golden Gate of
Colombia”.
The rapid urban growth is generated because of the political and economic
situation in Colombia, which makes the peasants move to the main cities in
search of centers of economic development.
