“…However, very little is known on how the exclusion mechanisms of indigenous people operate. Cueto et al (2009) show that poverty status, geographical localization, or other characteristics of indigenous households only explain a marginal portion of the low educational achievement of indigenous children, while educational process and peer effects play a crucial role. But many unanswered questions remain on how the educational process and the clustering effect lead to the exclusion of indigenous children.…”

“…Intergenerational poverty trap for indigenous people is widely acknowledged and documented in Peru (Escobal and Ponce 2007;Cueto et al 2009;Trivelli 2005;Figueroa 2006;Barrón 2005;Ñopo, Saavedra and Torero 2004;Mac Isaac 1994). These studies lead to the conclusion that exclusion, understood as discrimination in access, is the main driver of inequality.…”

Aspiration Failure: A Poverty Trap for Indigenous Children in Peru?

This paper aims to contribute to understand the mechanisms underlying the complex exclusion process of indigenous people in Peru, by analysing the role played by aspirations in the investment in education of indigenous children. To address these issues, the paper relies on a very rich data set, the Young Lives data, and use an original instrument that allow to cast light on the causal relation between aspiration and educational outcomes. We find that aspiration failure is a channel of inequality persistence between indigenous and non-indigenous people, but that aspiration failure do not takes the form of a lack of aspiration. Indigenous children do not have internalized racial schemas about occupation or about their opportunities. However, the gap between their aspiration and their current socioeconomic status is too large, in so far as it has a disincentive effect on forward-looking behaviour.

“…According to Aikman, what is needed is "a political and transformative response to the intercultural lives they lead, not a technical adaptation of the educational status quo" (2012: 248). Other authors highlight how intercultural bilingual education in Peru exists in less than half of rural schools, teachers do not receive sufficient technical and financial support and curricula often lack cultural and sociopolitical content (Cueto et al, 2012;Sumida Huaman, 2014;Ames, 2012;Maurial & Suxo, 2011).…”

AcknowledgementsThe community members of Panaillo taught me so much that extends far beyond this research and have inspired me to work harder and to be better. I deeply appreciate their friendship, their faith, and their endless supply of paranta shui. The quality, scope and meaning of this research are a direct result of their hard work. I am extremely grateful to my supervisor, Dr. James Ford, for serving as an invaluable mentor to me for several years. He introduced me to the concepts and politics surrounding climate change adaptation and has inspired me to continue working in this field for many years to come. He taught me to think critically about my own work and the work of others and I admire his commitment to community engagement and to resolving these 'wicked' problems. Through his guidance and example, I have learned how to make meaningful impacts in climate change adaptation research and I truly appreciate the freedom he has given me in carrying out this research.

“…As elsewhere in the world, indigenous people in Latin America are significantly disadvantaged in the area of education. While across this large region there are inevitable differences between national contexts and specific indigenous groups, in all contexts indigenous people have lower rates of access to formal education, and where it is possible to gauge, worse learning outcomes (see Cueto et al 2009 and 2011 for the case of Peru). Yet it is not only an issue of neglect, there is also contestation (within as well as outside indigenous communities) over which forms of education are most appropriate.…”

Indigenous groups in Latin America face a double exclusion from higher education, with low levels of access to institutions, and little acknowledgement of their distinctive cultural and epistemological traditions within the curriculum. This article assesses current policies in Mexico and Brazil towards indigenous populations in higher education, considering the various responses to the challenge, including affirmative action programmes in mainstream universities, intercultural courses and autonomous institutions. These policies and initiatives are analysed using the theoretical frames of redistribution and recognition, focusing on demands for formal equality and material well-being on the one hand, and a distinctive cultural and educational space on the other. While state-sponsored policies focus primarily on the redistributive element, initiatives based on recognition come largely from autonomous organisations, raising a series of dilemmas and tensions around educational justice for indigenous populations in the region.
