The Mexican government will begin offering online college-degree
programs this month to its citizens living abroad, many of whom are
suffering the effects of stricter immigration controls in the United
States.

The project is being run by Mexico's Public Education Secretariat,
which opened its own virtual university in August 2009. Since then,
33,000 students have enrolled in 15 different undergraduate majors at
the National Open and Distance University of Mexico, said Rodolfo
Tuirán, the country's under secretary for higher education.

He said the decision to expand the online-degree opportunity to
Mexicans living abroad is partly a response to the raft of anti-
immigration laws recently passed in the United States. The legislation—
the most punitive of which is Arizona's SB 1070, which criminalizes
illegal immigration within that state—has made it more difficult for
undocumented immigrants to attend college in the United States.

La educación es en gran parte autodidacta, uno solo necesita que le muestren
el camino a seguir y con buena motivación e inteligencia uno aprende. Por
eso los brutos y los flojos nunca aprenden por mas que les expliquen.

Una herramienta muy importante que muchos olvidan desarrollar es leer. Ayuda
mucho leer bien y muy rápido. Y mientras uno sea bueno leyendo en varios
idiomas, mejor. No solo la informacion viene en otras lenguas, a veces las
traducciones son deficientes.
