Bogotá school regulation and enrollment

Overview

In September 2026, the Bogotá District and the Secretary of Education enacted Resolution 1037, titled “(Re)conectarnos para aprender,” to regulate screen and cell phone use in public and private schools. The policy aims to improve concentration by prohibiting device use during classes, breaks, and lunch periods, while establishing age-specific daily screen time limits.

Full implementation of these restrictions is scheduled for March 2027. Following these regulatory updates, the city opened the enrollment process for the 2027 public school year in October 2026, covering early childhood, basic, and secondary education.
