Rights of indigenous peoples, including their economic, social and cultural rights in the post-2015 development framework 2014, para. 60
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- In the context of education, the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples underlines the importance for indigenous peoples of: education in their own languages; culturally appropriate methods of teaching and learning; and the reflection of their cultures, traditions, histories and aspirations in educational curricula (see articles 14(1) and 15(1)). However, in many places, prejudices and negative stereotyping of indigenous culture and identity remain a major challenge, and indigenous peoples face discrimination in schools, both from other students and from teachers. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has carried out an exhaustive investigation into this issue, the results of which are contained in its 2010 Education for All Global Monitoring Report: Reaching the marginalized. The report affirms that "[s]tigmatization is a potent source of marginalization that children bring with them to the classroom. From Aboriginals in Australia to the indigenous people of Latin America, failure to provide home language instruction has often been part of a wider process of cultural subordination and social discrimination".
