Right To Intercultural Education in Rural Communities

Abstract

Intercultural education is a right of all students, especially in rural communities, and a duty of the state that must meet the demands of the population in compliance with the Constitution and international treaties, to avoid discrimination, racism, cultural marginalization, etc. The objective of this article was to analyze the fulfillment of state policies on the right to intercultural education in rural communities in the international context. The study is justified by a systematic review of the literature available in the SciELO, WoS and Scopus databases. 19 articles whose publication period is between 2020 and 2024 were analyzed. The method used for this study was PRISMA 2020. The results show that intercultural education continues to be a challenge for states, with all types of discrimination being evidenced as the main factor; interculturality is being faced as a functional policy; initial teacher training is not optimal; the methodology and strategies adopted are not relevant; Students continue to be recipients of an inclusive education. Finally, it is concluded that rural communities continue to be recipients of a paternalistic and colonizing policy.
