In this article, the author discusses educational experiences of indigenous children. The author points out that while there are those who have the luxury of access to formal schooling, many do not. In the Second Session of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, many indigenous representatives discussed common education issues including poor retention, attainment, and graduation rates throughout the compulsory and non-compulsory years of schooling. The proposed solutions that resulted from the Forum on Indigenous Issues include the following: (1) Participation; (2) Access; (3) Indigenous Languages, Proficiency in the Lingua Franca, and Numeracy; (4) Appreciation, Understanding, and Respect for Indigenous Cultures; and (5) Anti-Racism Strategies. Indigenous peoples believe that the full and effective implementation of the strategies explained in this article will lead to equitable educational attainment for indigenous children and young people.
