Abstract
ZORRILLA-VELAZQUEZ, Daniel Jair and ALFARO-PONCE, Berenice. Education, Human Rights and Return Migration in Mexico: The case of the state of Hidalgo. Diálogos sobre educ. Temas actuales en investig. educ. [online]. 2022, vol.13, n.25, 00011. Epub Jan 27, 2023. ISSN 2007-2171. https://doi.org/10.32870/dse.v0i25.1126.
Return migration has acquired relevance among scholars in Mexico, a fact attributable to a historical increase in migration dynamics, particularly with the United States. In the last few years, the issue of Mexican returnees has severely intensified as a result of restrictive immigration policies in the receiving countries. This paper aims to explore the problem faced by Mexican returnees when they try to access the national education system through the lens of transnational migration, first by discussing the available literature on return migration in Mexico and then through a qualitative approach based on a documental review of public policies in Mexico and in the state of Hidalgo aimed towards educational inclusion. Finally, our findings suggest that Mexican authorities have deployed a number of merely palliative policies that so far have not achieved their aims.
