| Summary: | The objective of this article is to analyze the incorporation of Venezuelan students into the Colombian educational system in Cúcuta, border municipality of Norte de Santander, in the period 2015-2020. The study is based on a mixed methodology that includes a survey in five secondary schools, interviews with school principals and families with Venezuelan children, as well as discussion groups with teachers. The survey showed that Venezuelan students interviewed had slower and more difficult school access than Colombian students, although with some improvement since the deployment of migration policies for Venezuelans in Colombia. The qualitative data show some specific barriers faced during school incorporation, among which stand out the lack of documentation or apostilles, bureaucracy, the lack of social networks, social prejudices, and discretional admission processes. |
