The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) report on ICT’s and Indigenous People (June 2011) outlines various models across the globe that show how Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) can support indigenous education. Most of this is centered on teacher training in their respective contexts, and providing culturally responsive learning opportunities for children through the use of ICTs.
The report outlines possible solutions to the problem of technology and the erosion of culture, and different methods used to reinforce indigenous traditions through education. It would be interesting to know of research done on the effectiveness of such ICT support models, and their impact on the indigenous communities as a result of change in educational policies.
