Margaret Schroeder
: Oxford seems to be a little confused. In Mexico, a pasante is not necessarily a teacher, simply a student who has not completed certain degree requirements.

Seth Phillips
: Pastante has multiple meanings. The dictionary you cite also mentions "student who, having completed a professional course, is performing his social service" (in Mexico), which is the precise context here.
