Description
Summary:Based on a bibliographic review focused on the Andean region, this article analyzes research centered on the school experiences of migrant children from Venezuela in three host countries—Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador. Methodologically, the article offers a systematized approach to literature, relying on documentary analysis that draws from two sources: thematic dossiers and empirical research studies published between 2020 and 2024. The findings reveal that recent academic research on migrant children in the Andean region is limited, particularly studies that examine the transformation of discriminatory social practices, racism, and xenophobia toward Venezuelan children, or that explore their sense of belonging to school and community.
