Although Mexico has committed itself to the struggle against child labour, it is still a frequent practice in this country. This article presents an analysis of the labour done by children of Indian origin in the ultra-modern agricultural enterprises of northern Mexico and the problem of schooling these working children. Three main issues are tackled: the economic, cultural and social conditions which favour child labour in Mexico; the objectives of the educational progammes developed by two national organizations for children of migrant families; and how school functions in relation to the work done by several organizations promoting the education of migrant families' children. This analysis is based on information collected from interviews and observations done in two villages in the state of Oaxaca
