Legal competencies in Colombian school administrators

This dataset contains the primary quantitative and qualitative data supporting two complementary studies on legal competencies in Colombian school administrators. The repository includes one Excel file with raw survey responses used in Determinants of legal competencies in Colombian school administrators: a multivariate analysis, comprising 52 records, demographic and professional background variables, informed-consent fields, and a 23-item Likert-scale instrument on legal knowledge, regulatory compliance, institutional management, legal risk, and educational leadership. It also includes one Excel file with semi-structured interview responses associated with School Administrators and the Regulatory Framework: A Qualitative Analysis of Legal Competency Gaps, containing metadata, consent variables, demographic and professional information, and open-ended responses addressing legal training, regulatory awareness, institutional responsibility, oversight, legal challenges, and recommendations for strengthening legal competencies in school leadership. Together, these files provide complementary numerical and narrative evidence on how educational leaders and related professionals understand, experience, and respond to the legal and regulatory framework governing educational management in Colombia.
