As one of co-authors, I presented several policy debate topics and the increasingly important role education institutions play in preserving indigenous languages, culture, and identity. Five country case examples include China, Mexico, Taiwan, Uganda, and the United States. The historical-narrative methodology, including document, policy, and discourse analyses, is used to examine the indigenous policies followed by the debates. The findings show that most indigenous people suffer, in one degree or another, from poverty, discrimination, and marginalization issues. Most indigenous peoples make up about one third of the 900 million extremely poor rural people living on the earth. Indigenous languages, cultures, and identities are increasingly disappearing due to government policies that often prevent their preservation or systematically aim at assimilating indigenous peoples into mainstream societies. This study is of significance in explaining the dynamic relationship among these states’ ideologies, strategies, and indigenous populations’ reactions. Implications provide various stakeholders at all levels with a better understanding of how national beliefs about indigenous policies relate to their strategy use.

Policy Debates and Indigenous Education: The Trialectic of Language, Culture,...Che-Wei Lee
In this chapter, we explore several policy debate topics associated with indigenous education with a focus on the issues of indigenous languages, cultures, and identity. Highly political by nature, the terms indigeneity and indigenous rights are central to most policy debates with direct implications on social justice issues, human rights, and education in general. Besides examining global indigenous declarations that directly influence indigenous education, we also examine policy debate issues within five country contexts—in China, Mexico, Taiwan, Uganda, and the United States. We use the term indigenous genocide to account for any former, current, or future government policy that intentionally causes the assimilation of indigenous peoples into the dominant national culture. Examples are given in the five case countries of how indigenous genocide can lead to the genocide of indigenous peoples’ languages, cultures, and/or identities. The chapter concludes by highlighting the central role indigenous education can play in being able to curb or reverse indigenous genocidal policies. Crucial to reversing anti-indigenous policies is the involvement and empowerment of indigenous peoples in every facet of the policy planning and implementation processes.

ABSTRACT: Indian constitution in the article 45 has made provisionfor free and compulsory education for all children up to the age of 14 years.in Article 46- special provision are made for the development of weaker section of the people specially SCs and STs. Systematic and planned efforts were made by Government to achieve and fulfill this commitment. However, even after sixty seven years of independence the goal of universal elementary education has not been achieved so far. About 10 million children of school going age are not attending elementary schools due to various reasons. The tribal people of the India constitute 8% of total Indian population and their literacy is far behind the target and a long term cherished goal. This paper discusses the primary education of tribal people of Mayurbhanj district, the most tribal populated and largest (in area) district of Odisha keeping in view the position of Primary education and the Government efforts for Universalising the elementary education. The data for this paper are accumulated from different sources such as 7th All India School Education Survey 2002, survey conducted by NCERT, and State Report Cards prepared by NUEPA, Delhi etc., date available at OPEPA, Tribal Welfare Dept. Odisha, SCSTRTI, Odisha. It also include Educational parameter at district level are discussed and analysed to draw the attention of researchers, policy makers, administrators, and educationist for achieving the target of SSA in the State.

Although the state of the world's indigenous peoples is alarming, there is some cause for optimism. The international community increasingly recognizes indigenous peoples' human rights, most prominently evidenced by the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Indigenous peoples themselves continue to organize for the promotion of their rights. They are the stewards of some of the world's most biologically diverse areas and their traditional knowledge about the biodibversity of these areas is invaluable. As the effects of climate change are becoming clearer, it is increaslingly evident that indigenous peoples must play a central role in developing adaptation and mitigation efforts to this global challenge.
The State of the World's Indigenous Peoples is the result of a collaborative effort, organized by the Secretariat of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. The Chapters were written by independent experts.

"In this article, we aimed to investigate the dynamics of higher education texts from 2002 to 2011 by identifying the most frequently cited references, the highest cited authors, and the correlations among the co-citations. Citation and Co-Citation analyses were used to examine 1,941 cited journal articles from 41,001 publications published in SCI and SSCI databases. We juxtaposed the status of citations between two periods of 2002-2006 and 2007-2011. Results showed research trends changed significantly. Some generative reflections, methodological limitations, future research recommendations were discussed as well.

This paper applies the citation analysis to identify research trends in the field of e-learning quality, based on the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) and Science Citation Index (SCI) databases from 2003 to 2012. To do this, 35,482 citations of 1,647 documents identified from SSCI and SCI texts were analyzed. Results showed that research trends varied rapidly and richly in many disciplines between the two time periods (2003-2007 and 2008-2012). This study may be of benefit to scholars seeking to understand the literature surrounding e-learning quality and explore promising research questions.
