<p>Children of migrant farmworkers, often called "children of the road," face many obstacles in their lives, including extreme poverty, geographic and cultural isolation, discrimination based on race, language minority status, and mobility. Congress established the Title I Migrant Education Program to enable them to meet the same standards set for other children. The states that oversee Title I migrant education programs have created innovative solutions to meet the challenges faced by these children. These models include an electronic interstate record transfer system, a distance learning program specifically designed for migrant students, and a laptop computer project for secondary school migrant youth.</p>
