Ñandereko a curriculum policy with Chané, Guaraní and Tapiete peoples

Abstract

The co-construction of curriculum guidelines with the Chané, Guaraní and Tapiete peoples is an initiative that began in the 1990s, at the institutional level, in the departments of Orán and San Martín, and has been consolidated since 2018 as a ministerial curriculum proposal. Principals, grade teachers, bilingual teachers and indigenous referents are co-involved in its construction. Within this framework, working groups were held, through which curricular documents were developed; one for Early Education and another for Primary Education, called Ñandereko Curricular Guidelines. Constitute an intercultural and bilingual pedagogical proposal, which incorporates not only language and cultural content, but also offers pedagogical and didactic guidelines for the classroom approach. In addition, it establishes guidelines for action, outlines the roles and functions of indigenous bilingual teachers and provides guidelines for the development of institutional intercultural educational projects.
