To understand this situation, a diagnostic study was conducted in the participating countries using the documentary research technique, which involved a thorough review of sources. The findings revealed similarities reflecting the school situation of students in Latin American countries, highlighting the need for an interdisciplinary academic approach, interstate efforts, and joint collaboration among educational entities in the involved nations to address this silent issue.
