VERDUGO NUNEZ, Gladis  e  VARGAS VALLE, Eunice D.. School Enrollment of Internal Migrant Children and Adolescents on the Northwest Border of Mexico. Frontera norte [online]. 2024, vol.36, e2337.  Epub 14-Jun-2024. ISSN 2594-0260.  https://doi.org/10.33679/rfn.v1i1.2337.

The article examines the relationship between internal migration of children and adolescents and school enrollment in the border state of Baja California, Mexico. This research combines the analysis of the 2020 Population Census microdata and semi-structured interviews with teachers who served this sector between 2015 and 2022. Internal migrant children have disadvantages in school enrollment, and the gaps increase if the migration is recent, and if the parents work in agriculture. Being indigenous is a protective factor for school attendance among non-recent migrants, but a risk factor among recent migrants; the latter is consistent with teachers’ perceptions. Teachers point out that there are both socioeconomic and educational context barriers that limit the school integration of these migrants. The State still has to guarantee the full right to education for internal migrants.
