“…33 For example, Kotljarchuk (2019) looks at Sámi education in Russia in the twentieth century and shows that the number of native language speakers has decreased due to educational policy. 34 Except from loss of language by education in boarding schools, Allemann (2019) has shown that cultural assimilation came about due to Russian educational policy in the twentieth century. 35 Other perspectives on boarding schools with Indigenous education, as was the nomad school, have been presented in US and Canadian literature, showing that the Indigenous residential schools resulted in the separation of children from their families and that educational knowledge was aimed at vocational work.…”

This comparative curricular study examines the educational functions of the Swedish Sámi nomad school curricula before and after a central school reform in the 1960s. Due to the reform, the nomad school, a boarding school system for the Indigenous Sámi people in Sweden, was formed to bring about systemic changes in the education of Sámi children, to be more inclusive, and to meet new democratic educational demands. This study presents an in-depth examination of the written curricula through a thematic analysis by scrutinising the nomad School syllabi of 1956 (UP56) and 1969 (Lgr69), with an emphasis on aspects of continuity and change. In theoretical terms, the study is inspired by Biesta's educational functions. This study identified the continued importance of reindeer husbandry (RH), while the reform transformed the traditional RH context towards adaptation to the needs of the Swedish meat industry, in a period marked by intrusion into traditional Sámi lands. The study also found that although the education system set out to protect the Sámi language after the reform, the Sámi language was consistently given a low degree of importance in the curricula. Another source of tension concerns the explicit policy to open the Sámi education for all Sámi children at the same time, educating differentiation among Sámi.

“…Saamenkielistä koulutusta luodannut tutkimus pysähtyi myös vuosikymmeniksi, koska alan johtavat nimet pidätettiin ja vangittiin Stalinin vainoissa. (Kotljarchuk 2019. ) Saamenkielinen koulutus ja toisaalta koulutushistoriallinen tutkimus on vasta uudelleen pääsemässä vauhtiin Venäjän ja Neuvostoliiton osalta, muun muassa Andrej Kotljarchukin (2019), Lukas Allemannin (2019) ja Ekaterina Zmyvalovan (2019) tutkimusten myötä.…”

Tämä katsausartikkeli luotaa saamelaisten 1900-luvun koulutusta käsittelevää tutkimuskirjallisuutta Suomessa, Norjassa ja Ruotsissa, sekä lyhyesti myös Venäjällä ja Neuvostoliitossa. Artikkelin painopisteet ovat yhtäältä itse koulutuksen historiassa ja toisaalta tutkimuskirjallisuuden tulkinnoissa eri maissa. Mitä eroavaisuuksia ja yhtäläisyyksiä maiden välillä on, ja miten saamelaisten koulutushistorian tutkimus on kehittynyt viime vuosina? Tutkimuksen luoma kuva on monipuolistunut viime vuosina, samalla kun saamelaisten oma ääni on pääsemässä vahvemmin esiin tutkimuksessa. Samalla metodologisen nationalismin ongelma on edelleen voimakkaasti läsnä rajaamassa tutkimuskehystä kunkin maan sisäisiin asioihin.

Evaluating Education: Normative Systems and Institutional Practices

Sápmi is the traditional term for the historical settlement area (the northern areas of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia) of the Indigenous people of this area, the Sámi. The school systems in Sápmi were imposed by Western educators and missionary workers in the eighteenth century. The road to a good Sámi school has had more than its fair share of obstacles, which is often a common experience at intersections between Indigenous peoples’ cultures and attempts by Western authorities to influence the mindsets and behaviour of Indigenous people. In the face of assimilation pressures, many Sámi lost their language and identity as a cultural minority. However, in the 1960s and 1970s, a new direction of Sámi education arose: the Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish education authorities decided that Sámi learners should have the opportunity to choose education in a Sámi language (of which there are several languages) in addition to receiving teaching in school subjects. Although the long road to Sámi teacher education has been a winding and tortuous path, today it is offered by two institutions (Sami University of applied sciences and Nord University). However, there are still challenges in obtaining enough teachers who have mastered Sámi languages.
