Abstract

This article is about a longitudinal analysis using the Current Population Survey (CPS) databases published by the United States Census Bureau, specifically the Annual Social and Economic Supplements for the years 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020 and 2023, the purpose is to observe the changes and evolution of the educational characteristics of Mexican migrants in the United States. The findings indicate Mexican migrants are at a disadvantage compared to other population groups. These data are compared with the implementation documents and results reports of the Programa de Plazas Comunitarias and the APRENDE INEA learning platform, the conclusion is that these programs have contributed to the reduction of the percentage of the population of Mexican origin without high school studies. The most important highlight is the creation and launch of the APRENDE INEA platform in 2022, a tool for online education that gives free access to the Mexican population in the United States and that allows them to obtain elementary or junior high school certificates with official validity from the Mexican Ministry of Public Education what contributes to the reduction of educational disadvantages through the use of technology.
