The Paso del Norte Region is the largest metropolitan area on the US-Mexican border. The long-term competitiveness of the region is under a threat due to ongoing violence, brain drain and environmental degradation. To break out of the low skill/low wage economy, Paso del Norte needs to improve educational attainment levels on both sides of the border.
