Abstract: The border is not only a separation between countries and territories but also a meeting point for individuals and linguistic and cultural communities. Reflecting on border situations allows us, therefore, to assess many crucial issues for education and for language learning and teaching. In this paper we will analyse the challenges that the border poses for education, both from a socio-political perspective and from the perspective of school organisation and teachers' competences. Being able to meet these challenges means not only attending to children's rights in a border context, but also strengthening education systems with the learning obtained at the border.
