Description
Summary:Intercultural Universities in Mexico took place to promote access to higher education of indigenous population, which has historically experienced a lag. In 2003 the General Coordination of Intercultural and Bilingual Education (CGEIB) is created by the federal government in order to generate proposals that incorporate knowledge, languages and culture of indigenous educational processes. By 2014 there were ten Institutions of Higher Education, which are grouped in the University Network Intercultural (Redui), and located in Mexican states with significant presence of native people. This paper seeks to analyze three great moments: a) the genesis of intercultural universities in Mexico, b) their evolution and development, and c) analysis and actual situation. Finally, this inquiry will analyze the scope, difficulties and problems that the Unich has had.
