Currently, there are 6.3 million migrant children in Latin America and the Caribbean. Even though, most countries in the region guarantee the right to education and allow school enrollment of migrant children regardless of their migratory status, they continue to face a series of administrative, socioeconomic and emotional challenges that limit their access, learning and integration.
