There is a clear correlation between higher levels of educational attainment and previous study of English language. The growing number of Mexican students that enter tertiary education can often find that, in order to progress to postgraduate level study to carry out scientific research in their chosen academic discipline or take part in study abroad opportunities in non-Spanish speaking countries, they must supplement their English to achieve the level necessary.

Higher levels of education attainment and English proficiency are more common in wealthier Mexican families. There is a direct correlation between household income and proportion of respondents that had studied English. With households bringing in an annual income of Mex$ 33,001 – 65,000, 56% of participants had studied English, while households with income levels of Mex$ 1,000,001 – 1,300,000, 100% of participants had studied English.
Proximity to the United States is a significant factor that has an effect on English language levels in Mexico: The northern states that border the US that have a strong tradition of English learning levels;  the central region do use English in their daily working lives; and in  the southern states proficiency declines.

According to a report titled ‘Think Regionally to Compete Globally’, migration in the past has been the basis of the relationship between Mexico and the United States.

The report disagrees with the assumption that Mexico will continue to send  less-educated workers to take up poorly paid jobs in the United States. On the contrary, the number of emigrants from Mexico has fallen by more than two thirds since the mid 2000s, and a new trend has been reported that may change the US – Mexico relationship dynamic. Young American-born Mexicans are beginning to return to Mexico, who are viewed as highly skilled and able to more easily find jobs in Mexico than in the US.

Although frequently exposed to using English through US culture, international media, music, film and television, significant numbers of middle class Mexicans live in adequate comfort with access to education, healthcare and job opportunities with relatively little need to use English in their daily lives. Although young Mexicans are culturally submerged in an English speaking environment, they use the language only as needed in order to use technology, software and online resources.

Exposure to English-language films, television and music are an important factor on the motivations to learn and later achieve proficiency. The research shows that early stage learning during basic education is the greatest motivation to learn English (65%). Teachers are therefore a vital resource that must be well trained and have a strong grasp of the language.
