Knowledge and indigenous education
Abstract
The indigenous education system has focused solely on Western knowledge tradition, leaving aside indigenous produced knowledge and its exchange dynamics. Given the universal right to education and the rescue of Indian education prescribed in Convention 169 of the International Labour Organization, indigenous knowledge has gained new value and its relationship to identity, culture of the individual with its territory and the market. It also deals with multiculturalism and bilingualism as key elements to include on the design of public policies on behalf of political actors to ensure self-sufficiency, quality of life and autonomy of the communities involved in Indigenous education programs.
