INE as cited in Hallman, Peracca, Catino and Ruiz (n.d.)(2018) mentioned that there is a
disparity in the education and literacy among female and male IP students in Guatemala,
with female students performing better compared to the male students. Hallman et al (n.d.)
in their investigation of students in Guatemala found that educational opportunity for the
indigenous females in the rural areas were less benefited by them. Enrolment rates for
these groups are minimal and with higher drop outs rate. Indigenous males showed high
grade level achievement before reaching 10 years old even though in terms of enrolment
population, females are greater in number. By age 10 both gender achieved same grade
level. Gabriel (2018) emphasized the Department of Education’s commitment to implement
the Millennium Development Plan and Education for All Goals (EGA) of the government.
Through the Schools Division of Bataan, in consultation of the Ayta elders, specific lesson
plan and educational instructions and materials were designed for the IP children’s
education. The progress of these students were documented, especially those that are
related to their languages and culture. These are called “Alternative Learning Systems” in
the form of curricula that focus on IP culture, course materials and tools and other
assessments to determine the effectiveness of the instruction on the learning’s of these
marginalized people at the community level. The Education for All (EFA) addresses the
concerns of these IP people who are not able to avail of the educational services due to
their location, poverty and other socio-economic factors.
