The purpose of the Migrant Education Program is to design and support programs that help migrant students overcome the challenges of mobility, cultural and language barriers, social isolation, and other difficulties associated with a migratory lifestyle. These efforts are aimed at helping migrant students succeed in school and successfully transition to postsecondary education or employment.
It is the responsibility of the ESC to provide training and technical assistance to migrant project districts to assist them in meeting program requirements and program effectiveness. The identification and recruitment of eligible migrant students in non-project migrant districts is also the responsibility of Region III's Migrant Education Program.
