The Government of Mexico and 43 Mexican higher education institutions (HEIs) join efforts to strengthen the universal right to education of Mexicans living abroad.

On February 2, in the city of Puebla, Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon and other institutions from 22 states in the country, agreed to be part of the Consortium of Higher Education Institutions for the Educational Development of Mexican People Abroad (CIESDEMEX).
