Morales insists on indigenous language education

By Shannon at 02/03/07 15:01

news To be Native or Not
Morales has plans to have all government workers and schoolchildren learn the main indigenous languages. The government estimates that 37 percent of the population speaks a native language that predates the arrival of Spanish colonists in the 16th century. Promoting those languages is part of a broad effort ``to decolonize the mindset and the Bolivian state.'' Education officials say the reemergence of Bolivia's indigenous languages is part of a regional trend. Interest in indigenous communities and traditions has grown in the past 20 years throughout South America.
