Educational Councils of Indigenous Peoples
The Educational Councils of Indigenous Peoples are consultative bodies for the oversight and control of the education sector. Its objective is to issue observations, recommendations, and suggestions to guide the development and quality of education. For their organization, they take into account the needs, customs, traditions, values, forms of organization and socio-cultural practices of indigenous people. They are national and are organized in Aymara, Quechua, Guaraní, Amazonian Multiethnic, among others. It has been documented that in addition to conduct consultative activities, they also participate in the selection of teachers and students or the choice of school directors, among other activities.

Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
