Prior Consultation of Indigenous Peoples on the Indigenous Education Subsystem
Between 2007 and 2009, the Ministry of Public Education (Span. MEP) carried out a process of consultation with the 24 indigenous territories that had as its objective the formulation of a Reform of the Decree of the Subsystem of Indigenous Education. The process was structured in three stages: a) a reception and analysis of the draft of the Reform; b) a call for consultation; and c) a consultation of the Decree. However, according to the indigenous communities themselves, Decree No. 37801-MEP - Reform of the Subsystem of Indigenous Education was approved without indigenous participation and consultation. For this reason, the process has been heavily questioned by the communities, who are directly affected, as the new structure causes governability issues.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
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?
