The correct answer is - B. The amount of money spent on education in Colombia is one of the highest rates in South America.

Colombia is a country that has committed itself to improving its education for quite some time now. Starting from the mid 1960's, Colombia gradually started to reform its educational system, and invest in it more and more. There has been several reforms since that period, and they continue in the present. The investments of the government into the education system are also constantly on the rise. It has been committed a lot of focus to making the education available for everyone, so that the kids from all social classes can have equal opportunities in life. This has resulted in doubling the percentage of the population participating in elementary school, six times increase in secondary school, and fifteen times increase in the universities.
