The United States and Mexico share hundreds of thousands of students, but their educational needs too often go unmet and their potential is imperiled because of poor communication, bureaucratic challenges, language barriers and inadequate and unequal educational opportunities on both sides of the border. Educational researchers from both countries meet at a research symposium in Mexico City to examine student experiences and seek solutions that improve learning opportunities on both sides of the border.
