Indigenous requests for education

Abstract

For many decades, even centuries, indigenous communities in Mexico have demanded social services from their governments. There are historical records that show the official interest in providing those services (such as the creation of numerous public bureaus, or the abundant legislation for this purpose). But the projects do not work if solely administered from a desk. They should be taken to the realities where they are supposed to be applied. Those projects must be designed with the participation of the indigenous, who are speaking out, but are not being heard.
