dc.description <div>The present paper provides a critical analysis of Colombia’s National Program of Bilingualism focusing <span style="font-size: 10px;">on the ideologies behind it, how it facilitates the manufacturing of Colombian citizens’ consent for foreign </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">intervention through free trade agreements, and the progressive dismantling of public education. </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">The program is analyzed with a critical language policy lens that brings into consideration the historical </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">and socio-political factors of the Colombian context. For this purpose, several news articles, policy </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">documents, and academic essays are discussed. Connections are made between this language policy, </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">the interests of transnational companies, and how this policy helps portray the Colombian public education </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">system as inadequate to fulfill the government’s educational goals.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: 10px;"><div>El siguiente análisis crítico del Programa Nacional de Bilingüismo (PNB) en Colombia hace énfasis en <span style="font-size: 10px;">las ideologías que hay detrás de dicho programa y como este facilita la fabricación del consentimiento </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">de los ciudadanos colombianos para la intervención extranjera a través de los tratados de libre </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">comercio, al igual que la privatización progresiva de la educación pública. Se analiza el programa</span></div><div>de manera crítica teniendo en cuenta los factores históricos y sociopolíticos del contexto. Para <span style="font-size: 10px;">este propósito se discuten artículos de noticias, documentos del programa y análisis académicos. </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">El artículo establece relaciones entre el programa, los intereses de compañías multinacionales y la</span></div><div>manera como dicha política lingüística pone de manifiesto la insuficiencia del sistema educativo <span style="font-size: 10px;">público colombiano para alcanzar sus propias metas.</span></div></span></div>
