An analysis of intercultural bilingual education in Argentina
Purpose – The purpose of this article is to assess the state of affairs of intercultural bilingual education
(IBE) policies in Argentina. IBE encompasses educational proposals designed to address the specific
needs of ethnolinguistic minorities.
Design/methodology/approach – The article is divided into three parts and methodologically
analyzes different types of materials (national legislation, bibliography and personal research
experiences).
Findings – In the first section, the educational policies on cultural and linguistic diversity are
contextualized historically. Later, IBE is defined considering five main characteristics (the neoliberal
compensatory education policy, educational decentralization/regionalization, the educational category
of the system, linguistic goals and teacher profiles). Finally, the conclusions list the challenges, goals
that have yet to be achieved and the future perspectives of this educational policy.
Originality/value – This article contributes to the field of studies on diversity in the schooling of
ethnically different groups.
