MATO, Daniel. Pueblos indígenas, Estados y educación superior: Aprendizajes de experiencias en varios países de América Latina potencialmente útiles a los procesos en marcha en Argentina. Cuad. antropol. soc. [online]. 2015, n.41, pp.5-23. ISSN 1850-275X.

Over the past three decades a significant number of indigenous and/or intercultural universities and other higher education institutions (HEIs) have been created in several Latin American countries. Additionally, "conventional" universities and other HEIs have established degrees, diplomas, and various types of special programs aimed at the inclusion of indigenous people. Some of these educational modalities have been created by indigenous peoples organizations and /or leaders, others by universities and other "conventional" HEIs, sometimes through partnerships between these types of institutions and indigenous organizations, while other initiatives have been driven by States. In Argentina these processes are comparatively newer than in several other countries in the region. This article presents an overview of the types of experiences being developed in several Latin American countries, highlights their main achievements and challenges, and suggests some potentially useful lessons for ongoing processes in Argentina.
