ZUNIGA, Víctor  and  HAMANN, Edmund T.. Going Home? Schooling in Mexico of Transnational Children. CONfines relacion. internaci. ciencia política [online]. 2006, vol.2, n.4, pp.41-57. ISSN 1870-3569.

The literature in international migration from Mexico to the U.S. has usually examined labor, juridical, political, and public health dimensions of the phenomena. However, the educational aspect of international migration is becoming a major concern for both countries. This article offers preliminary results from a survey of transnational students coming back from the U.S. to Mexican schools. The database includes information from a representative sample of public and private schools of Nuevo León (1st to 9th grade). It includes estimates of the number of transnational students, their school trajectories, and perspectives on their educational experience in both countries.

Keywords : Transnational students; public schools; scholar policies; public educational systems.
