Transforming Intercultural Bilingual Education with Indigenous Women Teachers in Argentina

Transforming Intercultural Bilingual Education with Indigenous Women Teachers in Argentina

Argentina’s Intercultural Bilingual Education (IBE) policy is an important step forward in recognizing children’s rights to relevant, culturally grounded education. Yet access constraints, weak systemic coordination, and limited Indigenous participation in its design hinder its impact. Drawing on storytelling interviews with Indigenous women teachers, the research highlights structural barriers, shifting linguistic landscapes, and teacher preparation experiences in their educational trajectories. It underscores Indigenous women educators as pivotal actors in cultural transmission and educational transformation, offering recommendations to support and amplify their work and to advance a more just, multilingual, and intercultural education system that benefits all society.
