Fighting The System From Within: Cmpio And Education Reform, Anna Marshall
Fighting The System From Within: Cmpio And Education Reform, Anna Marshall
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
The current system of public education in Oaxaca is riddled with problems too numerous to list here. There is an obvious need for reform or for a new system all together. The argument presented in this paper is that the latter is not a feasible option for most in Oaxaca, especially for rural indigenous communities. For reasons explained throughout this study, it is necessary to work within the present confines of the existing education system in order to make significant improvements in the quality of education for these communities. Many activists seek to reject “the system” all together, but this …

Todas las familias de la comunidad están conectadas por lazos fuertes de amistad y comparten las responsabilidades del mantenimiento de la tierra comunal. Tengo muchos recuerdos de mi niñez cuando estaba ayudando en el jardín, recogiendo frutas del huerto comunal, y asistiendo a reuniones y fiestas de la comunidad. Desde los …
Non-Formal Education And Autonomous Spaces: Cideci’S Independent Alternative And The Regeneration Of Indigenous Cultural Spaces In Chiapas, Rachel Beatty
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
In this study I explore CIdeCI’s role in regenerating autonomous cultural and physical spaces for Indigenous learning, and thus living, outside of the government system through its alternative educational methods and non-formal, independent status.

I will begin by presenting a brief overview of my research methodology, followed by theoretical background regarding education and cultural spaces, specifically pertaining to the Indigenous population of Chiapas. I will then …
