Resumen

The objective of the article is to discuss the problems of education in the Peru-vian-Chilean border context. For this, the field work was located during the sec-ond half of 2022 in the city of Tacna. Methodologically, a qualitative strategy was developed based on semi-structured interviews aimed at border actors such as merchants, transporters and teachers. The results of the research show that the problem between education and border mobility acquires particularities in the context of emigration or the city of origin. The latter, unlike previous scientific production, which has placed greater emphasis on the educational problem in relation to im-migration, the place of migratory destination or mobility. Likewise, research evidence invites us to critically rethink the concept of border mobility, considering the shift in mobility, interconnected mobility and the mobility of knowledge in the border context.
