SamenvattingThe situation of indigenous children in the Mesoamerican region (Mexico–Guatemala) is more complicated than the well-organised official statistics implies. The data gives us a glimpse of the general panorama; however, in order to adequately understand the complexity of the situation and what the figures really mean, we need to delve into the lives of indigenous children and their families. It is quite common that understanding gained by organisations involved in education is used within their immediate sphere but is not shared and communicated more widely. Because of this and in order to address the observed similarities in the life styles of indigenous children in the region, we have formed the Grupo de Trabajo Infancia Indígena y Educación (Working Group for Indigenous Children and Education) composed of various organisations and social investigators working for children’s rights and the improvement of their social conditions.
