Different products are imported and exported by countries depending on the raw materials from which these have and need; the mechanism is barter with monetary value in dollars. Agriculture, fuels and mining, manufactures and others products and services are part of this important economic process.
The most popular trade in Colombia is with China, the US, Mexico, Panama and Spain.

"Education is ranked in the World Trade Organization (WTO) as a service and as such was included in the FTA negotiations, specifically in the chapter-border services" (Newspaper EL TIEMPO Colombia. By Correa, J May 16,2015)
Exports and imports will always be important for economic development and relations with the countries of the world, generating global benefits. In the education industry these activities are taken by the scope of loan professional services in different countries but it is an issue that still has not been strengthened. Create an exchange of quality teachers will always be an excellent opportunity for growth in the discipline. Finally imports and exports eventually help the country to have a broader vision about opening the doors to education for foreigners to provide services here and to bring national teachers elsewhere.
