Indigenous & Minorities
This document compiles practical examples related to indigenous people’s right to education, extracted from reports submitted by Member States within the framework of the Ninth Consultation on the implementation of the 1960 Convention and Recommendation against Discrimination in Education. It is intended to serve as a practical tool for both information sharing and advocacy. Section one presents the international legal framework protecting the right to education for indigenous peoples.
The Voices into Action (VIA) activity examined how to meaningfully involve the voices of learners and their families in educational decision-making processes. It aimed to:
- establish the background and rationale for the widely recognised need to involve learner and family voices in decision-making;
- identify how policy-makers and other stakeholders might meet this need in practice, in different countries and different contexts.
