employment and economic development at the local level. Moreover, they wonder whether migrants represent promising agents of change that may lead to a better standard of life among the local labor force. Despite the existence of extensive literature in favor of these possible opportunities, their benefits are still nowhere to be seen in Mexico. As far as costs are concerned, the study mentioned family disintegration is due to migration and to permanent setbacks in the development of sustainable production systems among the communities of origin, and, most importantly, the considerable drain of human resources at the productive stage. The family context is essential during the learning process and the upbringing of children and adolescents. However, detachment from either parent or both, due to migration, leads to axiological and affective changes among the family members in those regions where remittances play such an important role. Thus, it often happens that more emphasis is placed on migration than on education and the reason for this is that attending school hinders social mobility from an early age, so non-attendance is routine in life in households, for learning is not part of the future economic ritual. This is particularly true in rural areas of Mexico with an intense migratory history and with high dropout rates caused by migration. During the Thematic Forum on Education and Migration organized by the Research Department of the Ibero-American University (UIA) held in Mexico City, Pederzini (2008) declared during her presentation that migration encourages school dropouts and learning setbacks because there is no adult supervision or guidance of the children in the home. Since these children have working parents that are out all day, every day, they are left to their own devices. On the other hand, she considers that school is not a mechanism for social mobility because attending school does not guarantee access to a better income and not even the remittances obtained from migration encourage school attendance. Therefore, the high percentage of migrant students in this situation of absolute family detachment and its effects on future formal education from the earliest stages are cause for great alarm in Mexico. Pederzini also mentioned that the subject of geography as part of the curriculum does not present a truthful picture of the dramatic situation of migrants, which are described as simple displacements. Therefore, students need to learn about the migratory routes and the critical situation that migrants must face to reach their destination. This requires teaching students in class how to deal with all aspects of this phenomenon. On his part, Aruj (2008: 1-22) established that the cause of migrations is determined by imaginaries, ideologies, and a culture of entertainment that is “light”, as well as by the media, particularly the visual media that is responsible for mass migration. The reason for this is that every individual, no matter how illiterate, is a consumer of said media. Thus, he or she receives information regarding the status of permanent exclusion within a consumerist economic model. More than 500 million outcasts choose migration to achieve an imaginary dream at the cost of their own lives. When they encounter adverse situations that are strictly related to the reality of their situations and outside the utopian fantasies of social media in route to their final destination. Therefore, these migrants undergo a psychological shock that leads to peer violence, which in turn expands based on the axiological environment of each individual. The same author also presented other causes for migration, such as war, social insecurity, political persecution, and unemployment on one hand and the advantage of migration that permits control by northern countries on the other. It specifically points to the use of brain drain, a phenomenon that permits the selection of qualified human resources (HR) for specific purposes, without the need of investing in training them or having to deal with legal counsel or defense requirements. He goes on to declare that all types of migration have consequences for the migrant-sending country, such as the elimination of the EAP, which hinders development, even when employment is being generated in the recipient country. These types of migration become a “pocket” of poverty, prostitution, drug abuse, and discrimination. Those who are less qualified may lose become unemployed, or receive a meager salary. However, Aruj anticipates future migration to Latin America from northern countries by high-income groups for the exploitation of abundant natural resources, especially water. Another situation that migrant students face, Aruj goes on to explain, is poor school performance due to habits that are influenced by the socioeconomic background of the families and, even more importantly, by their cultural integration. Therefore, it is advisable to deal adequately with diversity. However, migration has caused family disintegration, with children being left to their own devices presenting difficulties at school because of the utter absence of supervision at home, as well as guidance in their compliance with school assignments, or support in facing the different developmental challenges. This same situation of abandonment leads to immature independence that, due to their young age, may in turn lead to unwanted pregnancies, delinquency, and drug abuse, among others. Currently, many of these C&As 1 choose to follow the path of their parents, thus becoming migrants that travel on their own.
