Migrant
El Programa de Educación Migrante es un programa del Departamento de Educación de los Estados Unidos que provee servicios educativos suplementarios a niños migrantes. Estos servicios ayudan a los hijos de trabajadores migrantes a superar las interrupciones de su educación y otros obstáculos a los que se enfrentan. El Programa de Educación Migrante está basado en la premisa de que la pobreza y la inestabilidad afectan y están relacionadas al éxito escolar y de que los niños que son ambos pobres y migrantes tienen más probabilidades de tener dificultades en la escuela.
