Abstract
Fuzzy logic has been considered as a strategy to define the values of the complex realities that define every aspect of education and to demonstrate formalized educational issues. This is because the quality of education has awakened the interest of investigators worldwide because they can be the answer of Education problems, and because some countries spend more resources in funding education compared to others which leads to higher levels of growth. This article proposes a new methodology using fuzzy logic to measure the quality of education by using quantitative and qualitative values with the hopes to develop criteria for the quality of education in a way closer to the realities of Latin American countries.
