    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 459 020 RC 023 223 AUTHOR Mattson, Linda; Caffrey, Lee TITLE Barriers to Equal Education for Aboriginal Learners: A Review of the Literature. A BC Human Rights Commission Report. INSTITUTION British Columbia Human Rights Commission, Vancouver. PUB DATE 2001-05-00 NOTE 72p. AVAILABLE FROM For full text: http://www.bchrc.gov.bc.ca/BarriersToEqualEducation.asp. PUB TYPE Information Analyses (070) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC03 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *American Indian Education; *Canada Natives; Culturally Relevant Education; Disadvantaged Youth; *Educational Environment; *Educational Needs; Elementary Secondary Education; *Equal Education; Foreign Countries; Indigenous Personnel; Participative Decision Making; Politics of Education; Power Structure; Racial Discrimination; Special Education; Tribally Controlled Education IDENTIFIERS *British Columbia; *Institutional Discrimination; Social Justice ABSTRACT Education is a fundamental right of all people but, for the Canadian Aboriginal community it is particularly critical for overcoming historical disadvantages. This document reports on a review of barriers to equal education for Aboriginal people. Key barriers to educational equity include issues of control, keepers of knowledge (teachers versus community), the role of curriculum in reproducing social and cultural inequalities, poverty, and overrepresentation of Aboriginal students in special education. The report makes recommendations for achieving educational equity and social justice in the public school system. Shared decision making is needed in the areas of jurisdiction and control of Aboriginal education programs, and for effective Aboriginal parental involvement in the public education system. A forum for Aboriginal youth to have input into their education should be created. The underrepresentation and role of Aboriginal teachers and support staff in the public education system warrants discussion.
