Description
Summary:Cooperation between Mexico and the United States in the field of education consists of an array of programs and agreements operating at several levels of governance. At the crossroads of migration and economic issues, this collaboration has since its inception focused on the integration of children of Mexican descent into the U.S. school system. This article examines the history of this cooperation in light of the new challenges posed by the emergence of a generation of transnational students, the result of a major movement of return migration to Mexico since 2005. These students, who attend school alternately in one country and then the other, represent an increasingly important part of the Mexican school population. After discussing the evolution and limitation of federal educational policies, the analysis will show that the new collaborations that are emerging between the education institutions of California and Baja California pave the way for a transnationalization of education that facilitates the circulation of students of Mexican origin from one school system to the other.
