Interculturality and Higher Education: Perspectives from Ecuador’s Constitutions
February 16, 2024 | 9:00 AM
Ecuador’s Constitutions provide the framework for discussing interculturality, indigenous people, and higher education in this presentation. The analysis starts with the 1830 constitution and extends to the current 2008 constitution that remains in effect. Through this approach, one can examine the connection between indigenous people and the State. One of the main takeaways from this approach is the State’s consistent exclusion of indigenous populations from the realm of education.
