Colombian School Gradebook — MEN 1.0–5.0 Scale with Decreto 1290 Performance Levels

Colombia's Ministerio de Educación Nacional (MEN) regulates school grading through Decreto 1290, which sets the national 1.0–5.0 nota scale (pass = 3.0) and requires schools to map marks to four performance levels: Superior (4.6–5.0), Alto (3.8–4.5), Básico (3.0–3.7), and Bajo (1.0–2.9). OpenEduCat enforces all four levels automatically, tracks Habilitación recovery exams, and generates the official Libreta de Calificaciones. Argentina's 1–10 scale (pass = 7) is also supported for multi-country deployments.

Ce que le Module Colombia & Latin America Fait

Fonctionnalités spécifiques au pays qui vont au-delà du moteur de base du carnet de notes.

1

Decreto 1290 Performance Level Mapping

Decreto 1290 requires schools to map numeric grades to performance levels on every report card. OpenEduCat applies the level mapping automatically from the entered nota — no manual categorisation required. The Libreta shows both the numeric nota and the performance level.

2

Habilitación Exam Tracking

Students with a final nota Bajo (below 3.0) are eligible for a Habilitación exam. The `co_habilitacion_date` and `co_habilitacion_result` fields track the exam. If the Habilitación passes (≥3.0), the subject is cleared; if not, the subject is flagged for academic year review.

3

Libreta de Calificaciones Generation

The Libreta is the official Colombian report card showing period notas, performance levels, attendance, and behaviour observations. OpenEduCat generates the Libreta in a format aligned with MEN expectations, including the four performance level indicators per subject.

4

Argentina 1–10 Scale (Pass=7)

For deployments in Argentina, the system uses the 1–10 national scale (7.0 = pass threshold). Argentine provinces use either bimestral or trimestral periods. The `la_country` field (set to `colombia` or `argentina`) activates the correct scale, pass threshold, and report card format.

5

Period Structure Flexibility

Colombian schools typically use trimestres (three grading periods) or periodos (four periods). OpenEduCat supports both structures with configurable period count and weighting at the school or programme level.

Politique de Reprise d'Examen

Habilitación and Recuperación Recovery Policy

Colombia's Decreto 1290 allows schools to offer Habilitación exams to students who fail (nota Bajo). The Habilitación result replaces the failing nota if it is ≥3.0. Schools may also offer Recuperación activities (additional learning tasks) before the Habilitación. Both recovery mechanisms are tracked with their own date and result fields.

Impact des reprises sur le relevé de notes

  • La note active (comptabilisée dans le GPA) est marquée d'un astérisque (*)
  • Les notes remplacées ou exclues sont annotées avec leur code de statut
  • Toutes les tentatives apparaissent sur le relevé de notes pour une transparence académique totale
  • Les arriérés effacés, tolérés, compensés et exemptés ne bloquent pas l'obtention du diplôme

Decreto 1290 de 2009 established Colombia's national grading framework: a 1.0–5.0 nota scale, a 3.0 pass threshold, and a mandatory four-level performance classification (Superior/Alto/Básico/Bajo) on all official report cards.
