| Sumario: | Migration from Mexico to the United States is increasingly familiar. This indicates that in recent years children and adolescents born in Mexico and the United States move between the two countries to satisfy their educational demands. Return migration, caused by the crisis in the labor market in the United States, or by deportation due to their illegal status, creates new scenarios and ‘actors' that causes more complex problems in Mexican society. The increasing presence of students with educational experience, but with a differentiated social, cultural and familial background, brings changing identities and comparative visions that impede their social integration and school performance, and merge them in a cognitive dissonance state. The challenge for the school to meet is considerable and transcends national boundaries. This paper highlights the inescapable link between these students with their transnational family context. The field work was based on the school experience, in which students, school administration, teachers, parents, and representantes of the "Programa Binacional de Educación Migrante México - Estados Unidos", came together. This exploratory research uses an inductive methodology. The findings are analyzed under a transnational focus and provide us with general references regarding the studied problems. |
