multicultural education in Mexico  

Definition

  • Explicitly multicultural and/or intercultural education is a very recent and still marginal educational phenomenon in Mexico. However, the long-standing Latin American and particularly Mexican tradition of indigenismo constitutes a kind of “multiculturalism avant la lettre” that still shapes the educational institutions specifically designed for the country's 68 indigenous peoples who make up approximately 10% of the Mexican population.
