Contralores Estudiantiles

This initiative empowers students to become leaders and guardians of public resources in their schools. Established under Law 2195 of 2022, Student Auditors learn to monitor the use of public resources, collaborate with teachers and school administrators, and inspire their peers to take action. The program promotes transparency, civic engagement, and a culture of accountability within schools. Students receive guidance from their school and the Office of the Comptroller General of the Republic.
