Resumen en inglés

The purpose of this article was to analyze the spatial distribution and accessibility of official educational facilities in the rural area of the municipality of Cereté - Córdoba, using spatial analysis techniques such as the Nearest Neighbor Index, areas of influence and accessibility for calculating and measurement of the variables, with the support of the Geographic Information Systems, such techniques allow to explain spatial phenomena from the quantification of the facts associated with the geographic space. The results obtained show that educational facilities are randomly distributed over the territory, but despite this, there is inequality for some townships, especially for those farthest from the urban area, distances or routes for the population in age school can access these, they are very large for a sector where socioeconomic conditions and the state of the roads do not allow them to use different means of transport, so accessibility to most of these facilities is not very favorable.
