Use and implementation of ICT's in education of Indigenous Communities: a matter of Human Rights

Education is a Human Right that is guaranteed by the Mexican Constitution, as well as protected by several international conventions and declarations that shall be complied by Mexico. This right is universal, and the State is required to grant all individuals education in a freely and obligatory manner. This education, in addition, must be sufficient and of quality. Despite this, there are several groups and communities that, because of their high degree of marginalization or cultural conditions, find themselves with very low educational indices. Such indigenous communities in Mexico, which, due to their economic situation, as well as linguistic and cultural barriers with the rest of the country, received limited education. Through this research, an analysis will be made of the Human Right that indigenous members have of receiving quality education, and how ICTs could be a solution for the reduction of the cultural gap, through inclusive education. For such purpose, this investigation will present the main problematic faced by indigenous communities in educational matters, as well as the way in which through the use of ICTs they could be reduced.
