State of the World's Indigenous Peoples, Volume III: Education
2017
This report from the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) analyzes the situation of indigenous peoples and their right to education, describing the contextual backgrounds and policy impacts on indigenous peoples who are faced with the challenge of embracing mainstream education while simultaneously seeking to maintain and revitalize their own languages and cultural heritages. It explores the challenges faced by many indigenous groups to preserve their languages and cultures, and outlines concrete actions to implement the U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which states that indigenous peoples have the right “to establish and control their educational systems and institutions, to an education in their own culture and provided in their own language.”
